It's terrible news from the hard-fought port city of Mariupol.
Vladimir Putin's (69) henchmen also mercilessly kill civilians. At least 10,000 people are dead, Vadym Boychenko (44), mayor of the southern Ukrainian city. It could be up to 20,000.
According to the mayor, the Russians are now using mobile crematoria to "dispose of" the bodies.
The remaining Ukrainian troops in the city said Monday they were preparing for the "final battle," with Russia's fighters from the Donetsk region reporting the capture of the port of Mariupol.
"Today will probably be the last battle as ammunition is running low," said the 36th Naval Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The Russian army "surrounded" the Ukrainian soldiers, and all the infantrymen had already been killed.
The leader of the self-proclaimed "Donetsk People's Republic," Denis Pushilin, 40, said the port of Mariupol was already under the control of militants. However, the "deployment" in eastern Ukraine will now be "intensified," he announced.
