(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 28 - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called the Russian siege of Mariupol a "humanitarian catastrophe", stating that Russian forces have taken over 2,000 children away from the city.
This was reported by CNN, citing the president's interview with Russian independent journalists.
"According to our information, more than two thousand children have been taken away, which means they have been kidnapped," Zelensky said.
"Their exact location is unknown. They can be there with or without parents. It's scary. They keep them as bargains," he added.
