KYIV, Ukraine, May 20, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - The remaining Ukrainian troops
still holed up in Mariupol's besieged Azovstal steelworks have been ordered
by Kyiv to stop fighting, a commander of a battalion leading the trapped
units said Friday.
"The higher military command has given the order to save the lives of the
soldiers of our garrison and to stop defending the city," Denys Prokopenko
said in a video on Telegram. He said there was an "ongoing process" to remove
killed fighters from the plant.
