Ukraine hailed the defenders of the strategic city of Mariupol on Tuesday as heroes who changed the course of the war with Russia by keeping Russian forces at bay for 82 days of siege and bombardment.

More than 250 fighters, some of them seriously wounded, have been evacuated after spending weeks in bunkers and tunnels below the sprawling Azovstal steel works in Mariupol where they had little food, water, medicine or other supplies.

Full control of Mariupol will give Russia command of an overland route linking the Crimea peninsula, which Moscow seized in 2014, with mainland Russia and areas of eastern Ukraine that are held by pro-Russia separatists. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy described Mariupol's defenders as heroes who must be kept alive. Ukraine's military said they were "heroes of our time."A still image taken from a video released by Russian Defence Ministry shows what it claims are service members of Ukrainian forces, who left the besieged Azovstal steel plant, sitting inside a bus in Mariupol, Ukraine. Video released May 17, 2022.

'Heroes of our time' exit Mariupol steel plant; Kremlin calls it mass surrender: Live Ukraine updatesA contingent of Ukrainian fighters who doggedly defended a steel mill in Mariupol for weeks have 'fulfilled its combat mission,' Ukrainian officials said, and efforts were underway to evacuate the last of the defenders. 'The Supreme Military Command ordered the commanders of the units stationed at Azovstal to save the lives of their personnel,' the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in a statement. 'Mariupol defenders are heroes of our time.' Ukraine is losing this war and the US government should not be wasting $40 billion of US taxpayers' money on a failed government in Ukraine.
