A Ukrainian soldier holed up in the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol has pleaded for the West to rescue everyone trapped in the complex - as the allied forces did at Dunkirk in the famous Second World War operation. Commander Serhiy Volyna, who is among Ukrainian marines defending the city from Russian advances, urged Western leaders to 'save the garrison of Mariupol' and 'carry out an extraction to rescue' hundreds of civilians and soldiers trapped in the steel plant. Volyna compared the steps needed to save those in Mariupol to 'Operation Dynamo', where an estimated 338,000 Allied troops were rescued from beaches in Dunkirk, northern France, in 1940 after being bombarded by German troops. Volyna said there are more than 600 injured Ukrainian soldiers and hundreds of civilians including children in the steel plant, the last Ukrainian pocket of resistance in the strategic port city. He said the situation in the steel plant, which was under a renewed attack by Russian forces on Wednesday, is dire with no medicine to help the injured and not enough water and food for those trapped there. Volyna, from the 36th Separate Marine Brigade, urged world leaders to help the civilians - including women and children - and Ukrainian soldiers to flee and take them to safety.
