'We have to ask ourselves, are we going to watch Ukraine bleed out?' ambassador Bartosz Cichocki asked.
Poland's ambassador to Ukraine Bartosz Cichocki said that Kyiv's forces may have been able to prevent the"tragedy" of Russia's siege of Mariupol if they had received High Mobility Artillery Rocket System sooner.
"We know perfectly well that if the HIMARS had reached Ukraine earlier, the Mariupol tragedy might not have happened. The Ukrainians simply stood 100 kilometers from this city, they were separated by a flat area, they were unable to move the front lines and were forced to idly watch the tragedy of their comrades," Cichocki said in an interview withA Polish diplomat said that the"tragedy" of Mariupol could have been prevented if HIMARS had been sent to Ukraine sooner.
Thousands of civilians are estimated to have been buried in mass graves by Russian forces in Mariupol during the nearly three-month long siege. The maternity ward of a hospital as well as a theater sheltering hundreds of civilians in the city were also bombed by Moscow's troops. The local government said that at least 90 percent of the city's buildings had been damaged in the assault.
