Russia says 959 Ukrainian troops surrendered from Mariupol's steel plant, commanders still holed up

Описание: Russia said on Wednesday (May 18) that a total of 959 Ukrainian fighters, including 80 wounded, had surrendered from the bunkers and tunnels below the Azovstal steelworks in the devastated Ukrainian city of Mariupol since Monday.

The defence ministry said 694 Ukrainian fighters - including members of the Azov regiment - had surrendered in the past 24 hours, including 29 wounded.

It said 51 of the fighters requiring medical assistance had been transferred to a hospital in Novoazovsk, some 40 km (25 miles) east of Mariupol.

Top-ranking Ukrainian commanders at Mariupol's Azovstal steelworks are still inside the plant and have yet to surrender, local media quoted pro-Russian separatist leader Denis Pushilin as saying on Wednesday.
