Wives beg to save lives in Azov 'medieval ghetto

THE wives of two Ukrainian soldiers left trapped in Mariupol's steel plant yesterday begged the Pope for help.

On a visit to the Vatican, Kateryna Prokopenko, 27, and Yuliya Fedosiuk, 29, asked Pope Francis to demand clemency for their husbands from Vladimir Putin.

Kateryna told the Pope: "You are our last hope, I hope you can save their lives. Please don't let them die.”

Officials described the underground bolthole as a disease-ridden medieval ghetto” containing rotting flesh and unburied bodies.
