Mariupol's marine commander sent an SOS as the besieged southeastern port city came under heavy bombardment by Russia.
Major Serhiy Volyna told media that his troops hiding out in a steelworks plant - Ukraine's last stronghold in the city - may have "only a few days or even hours left."
After a deadline issued by Russia for Ukrainian forces in Mariupol to lay down their weapons expired, Major Volyna insisted that his troops will not surrender but prefers evacuation to a third country.
