Russian defence minister claims capture of Mariupol

Description

Russia on Thursday (April 21) claimed to have taken control of the strategic Ukrainian port of Mariupol after more than seven weeks of fighting that reduced most of the besieged city to rubble. But "the Ukrainians certainly are not admitting it. There has been no announcement from the Ukrainian armed forces or from the government of Mariupol having fallen", says FRANCE 24's Gulliver Cragg.
