Mariupol still being defended - Ukraine Prime Minister

Ukrainian forces defending the besieged port city of Mariupol will fight to the end against Russian troops, Qazet.az reports according to Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

Shmyhal said that Russia's deadline for Ukrainian forces in Mariupol to surrender by Sunday had been ignored.

"The city still has not fallen," he said. "There are still our military forces, our soldiers, so they will fight until the end. And as for now, they still are in Mariupol," he told to the ABC.
