Since President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian invasion to Ukraine on February 24, Moscow accused Kyiv forces of invading southern Russian territory.

Earlier this month Russian troops withdrew from areas north of Kyiv and are now refocusing their efforts on capturing more territory in eastern Ukraine.

Russia’s defense ministry confirmed that its forces now have full control of the port in the besieged city of Mariupol.

They added that Ukrainian troops and members of the Azov battalion had been surrounded and had no chance of escape.

Members of the Azov battalion fought fiercely against Russia in Mariupol, which lies in southeastern Ukraine between Russian-occupied Crimea and pro-Russian separatist territory in eastern Ukraine.
