Ukrainian forces ready for 'last battle' in Mariupol

Description

Ukrainian forces are preparing for a "last battle" to control the southern port of Mariupol, besieged by Russians since the invasion, marines in the city said Monday. "Today will probably be the last battle, as the ammunition is running out," the 36th marine brigade of the Ukrainian armed forces said on Facebook. "It's death for some of us, and captivity for the rest," it added. FRANCE 24's Chief Foreign Editor Rob Parsons reports from Kyiv.
