Save people of Mariupol surrounded and trapped in AzovStal Plant

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Help people trapped in Mariupol. This can be done via direct negotiation with Putin. Or by extracting people from the AzovStal plant militarily. Or maybe some other way. Please find a way to save them and take them to a safe place.
There are around 2,500 people hiding in the catacombs of the plant including babies, children, women, and the elderly, some 500 wounded plus very brave soldiers who are ready to fight to the end. Please don't make them all die and do everything you can to save them. Just save them, please
More information can be obtained from most news channels about the situation in Mariupol
The initiator of the petition was born in Mariupol and is a British citizen now since mid 90ties
