Video released by the Azov Regiment on April 30 is said to show Russian tanks shooting at residential buildings in Mariupol.
The video released shows Russian tanks firing on residential buildings in the besieged port city.
Azov Regiment said in the accompanying statement that the video is a clear demonstration of why civilians in Mariupol, including those hiding in the Azovstal plant, are afraid to leave the basements and do not believe the “occupiers” about the possibility of a safe evacuation from the city.
Moscow last week claimed control over the war-torn port city, although hundreds of Ukrainian forces are dug in at the Azovstal steelworks, which have been pounded by Russian forces.
Russian forces have circulated the factory after laying siege to Mariupol for weeks, despite President Vladimir Putin saying the plant need not be stormed.
