A huge role is that the plans of the enemy are destroyed, and our defense becomes more active – heroic defenders Mariupol. Thanks to their dedication and superhuman courage, dozens of thousands of lives are saved throughout Ukraine. Mariupol saves Kyiv today, and Dnieper, and Odessa. Everyone must understand this, “Reznikov emphasized.
