🇺🇦⚡A lot of pilots died trying to break through to #Azovstal - #Zelensky
The President of Ukraine acknowledged that the Armed Forces of #Ukraine suffered significant losses among the flight crew, but could not organize an air corridor with the Azovstal plant in Mariupol
"A very large number of people died - our pilots ... Why? Because there were no air corridors to Azovstal because of Russia's powerful air defense," Zelensky said.
