马里乌波尔城守军指挥官表示，他们在世上的时间可能只剩几天，甚至几小时了

Ukrainian commander requests international evacuation effort at Mariupol plant as situation is "critical"

From CNN's Olga Voitovych, Julia Presniakova and Nathan Hodge in Lviv

Maj. Serhii Volyna, commander of Ukraine's 36th Separate Marine Brigade, spoke by phone with CNN from the besieged city of Mariupol Tuesday evening and requested that a third country provide evacuation for troops and civilians trapped in the Azovstal steel plant under heavy Russian bombardment. 

&rt;"I have a statement to the world," Volyna said. "It may be my last statement, because we have only a few days, or even hours, left. We appeal to world leaders to apply the extraction procedure to the military of the Mariupol garrison, to the civilians who are with us here at the plant. We ask you to take us to the territory of a third country and provide us with security."

Ukrainian forces inside the besieged city have consolidated around the massive Azovstal steel factory. 

Ukrainian officials have said hundreds of civilians are sheltering in the basements of the massive steelworks. A Mariupol police official told CNN food and water supplies were dwindling amid heavy bombardment. 

Asked how an evacuation might be facilitated, Volyna said, "This should be at the level of agreements. If we talk about practical application, it could be a ship with helicopters, for example, that could pick us up. Or an international humanitarian mission that can come to us and guarantee our security and accompany us on the way to the state that will make such commitments."

Volyna described the situation at the plant as "critical," with a large number of wounded troops and limited medical care. 

"We are completely surrounded," he said. "There are about 500 wounded military, it is very difficult to provide them with medical care. They literally rot. There are civilians on the territory. They are also suffering from explosions, blasts on them, next to them. They [the Russians] use heavy aircraft bombs against us and strike with artillery."

"This happens all the time. The city is destroyed. Enemy groups outnumber us dozens of times, they have a complete advantage in air, artillery, equipment, manpower. We fight to the last, but we have very little time left," he continued.

The Ukrainian commander estimated that there were "hundreds of civilians" sheltering on the territory of the plant. 

&rt;"We appeal to absolutely all world leaders: Whoever will be able to make such commitments, whoever will be able to succeed in the short term in agreeing on such a procedure," he said. "We know that there are some developments and talks with the Turkish side that it is acting as a guarantor. Probably the United States, because we believe that this is a very powerful state with a strong leader, [President Joe] Biden, and that he can personally resolve this issue in the shortest possible time. Or this issue can be resolved with his help in a short time."

Volyna declined to comment on the number of military holding out at Azovstal. 

"If the world hears us, if the world leaders hear us, we very much hope so, and the extraction procedure will be carried out, then everyone will understand the quantitative composition of the people who were in captivity," he said.

手翻：

本周二下午，乌军第36独立海军陆战旅指挥官Serhii Volyna少校在被围困的马里乌波尔城和CNN记者通了电话，他请求第三国帮助疏散被困在处于俄军猛烈炮火下的Azovstal钢厂内的士兵和平民。

「我要向全世界发表一份公告，这也许是我发出的最后一份声明，因为我们只剩下几天，甚至几小时的时间了。我们请求他国领袖们为马里乌波尔的守军和被困在钢厂内的平民启动疏散程序。我们请求您把我们带往第三国，并提供安全保障。」

乌军已经加固Azovstal周围的工事。

据乌克兰官员称，还有数百名平民在钢厂地下的收容所中避难，一位马城的警官告诉CNN，在猛烈炮火下，食物和饮用水正逐渐减少。

当被问到该如何加快疏散，Volyna表示「疏散程序应上升到承诺层面。说到实际举措方面，举例来说，他们可以派一艘船运直升机来，并带我们从空中撤出。或某个国际人权组织可以亲自前来保证我们所有人的安全，并陪同我们前往愿意签署疏散协议的国家。」

Volyna声称钢厂内伤兵数量很高，医疗补给稀缺，情况「危急」。

「我们已经被完全包围，大约有500名伤兵，我们很难向他们提供足够的医疗援助。从字面意义上说，他们正在溃烂。钢厂内还有同样遭受炮火波及的平民，炸弹就在他们之中爆炸，俄军用重型航空炸弹和大口径火炮攻击我们。」

「上述情况每时每刻都在发生，城市已经被摧毁了，敌军数量超过我们几十倍，他们拥有完全的制空，火力，装备，人力优势，我们会战斗至最后一人，但是，我们的时间已经所剩无几了。」他说。

乌军指挥官估计钢厂内还滞留有数百名平民。

「我对世界上所有国家的领袖们发出请求：无论是谁，只要您有能力对我们做出疏散承诺，只要您有能力在短时间内拟定出具体的疏散计划。我们了解到在和土耳其方的谈判有所进展，他们可能愿意充当担保人。或是美国，因为我们相信美国国力强大，并有有力的领导人拜登总统，他可以在尽可能短的时间内解决我们的困境。」

Volyna拒绝公布在Azovstal钢厂内守军的具体数字。

「我们渴望国际社会能听见我们的声音，渴望各国领袖能收到我们的求救，这样所有人都能具体理解处于困境的我们的状况。」他说。

对守军和平民致敬，希望他们获救。
