On Wednesday, the Azovstal steel plant still holds despite relentless attacks from Russian troops, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said. Ukrainian parliament member David Arakhamia confirmed that Russian troops have already breached the premises of the Azovstal steel plant. Arakhamia, who has led the Ukrainian delegation in talks with Russia, also confirmed that Ukrainian authorities had managed to regain communications with Ukrainian fighters at Azovstal after losing touch with them earlier on Wednesday.
