Wounded men seen leaving the Azovstal steelworks after brutal weeks-long siege

An image taken from a video released by the Russian defence ministry shows what it claims are service members of Ukrainian forces, who left the besieged Azovstal steel plant, being searched in Mariupol, Ukraine. Picture: RUSSIAN DEFENCE MINISTRY/REUTERS

While both sides spoke of a deal under which all Ukrainian troops would abandon the huge steelworks, many details were not yet public, including how many fighters remained inside and whether any form of prisoner swap had been agreed in advance. The surrender appears to mark the end of the battle of Mariupol, where Ukraine believes tens of thousands of people were killed under months of Russian bombardment and siege.

“We hope that we will be able to save the lives of our guys,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said. “There are severely wounded ones among them. They‘re receiving care. Ukraine needs Ukrainian heroes alive.” The regiment, now part of Ukraine’s territorial defence forces, originated as a far-right militia, and Moscow has portrayed defeating its fighters as central to its stated objective of “denazifying” Ukraine.

Azovstal siege ends as hundreds of Ukrainian fighters surrenderMore than 250 Ukrainian fighters have surrendered after weeks holed up in the labyrinth of bunkers and tunnels below Mariupol's Azovstal steel works as the most devastating siege of Russia's war in Ukraine draws to a close.

Thank you for bringing happiness to my home with just $5000 i got $50,000 in 7days Williamchurch07 They are dressed in soldiers' uniforms and armed so why are they called Ukranian fighters instead of Ukranian soldiers? Surely there's a difference between RETREATING and SURRENDERING? Weren't you fake news peddlers reporting that Ukraine was winning and the Russians retreating? Not surrender.... they were evacuated. They will be redeployed soon after hospital care.
