"We are ready to leave this territory because it is very hard and complicated to hold here with our personal weapons. We're ready for extraction, possibly extraction to the territory of a third country but with our weapons in our hands," he continued.Palamar told CNN that there was not much food and water left for the plant's defenders. He said they had a limited amount of ammunition.
"We asked for evacuation of the civilians.

So if being asked whether we are ready for civilians to leave from here, we are not only ready but we ask that the civilians are saved first of all," he told CNN.
