Russia unleashed rockets on Tuesday on an encircled steel works in Mariupol, Ukraine's last redoubt in the port city, after a ceasefire broke down with some civilians still trapped beneath the sprawling site despite a UN-brokered evacuation.

More than 200 civilians remain in the plant, according to Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boichenko, with 100,000 civilians still in the city that has been devastated by weeks of Russian siege and shelling. FILE PHOTO

Weary-looking people, including children and the elderly, clambered off buses after escaping the ruins of their home town in southeast Ukraine where Russia now claims control. Russia has turned its heaviest firepower on Ukraine's east and south after failing to take Kyiv, the capital, in a drive to limit Ukraine's access to the Black Sea, vital for its grain and metal exports

On Tuesday Russia's defense ministry said its forces had struck a military airfield near the port of Odesa with missiles destroying drones, missiles and ammunition supplied to Ukraine by the United States and its European allies. Ukraine said three missiles targeted the Odesa region and all were intercepted.

"If you don't stand up to dictators, history has shown us, they keep coming, they keep coming," US President Joe Biden told assembly line workers at a Lockheed Martin plant in Alabama that produces the Javelin anti-tank missile, a weapon that has helped Ukraine fight Russia's invasion. French President Emmanuel Macron urged Putin in a phone call on Tuesday to order an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and to lift Russia's embargo on Ukrainian exports via the Black Sea. Putin said Russia remained open to dialogue, the Kremlin said.
