More than 1,000 Ukrainian marines have surrendered in the besieged port of Mariupol, but Ukraine denies this says Russia

Serhiy Orlov, the city’s Deputy Mayor, told the BBC that Ukrainian troops were still fighting in the area.

Ukraine claims that tens of thousands of people have died in Mariupol.

Fighting appeared to be raging around the port’s massive Azovstal steel complex, which is one of two sectors outside of Russian control.

Russian television broadcast images purporting to show servicemen surrendering at the steel mill.

However, a presidential adviser stated that the marines had broken through to join forces from the Azov brigade in another area.
