Russia has demanded Ukrainian forces still fighting to defend the besieged city of Mariupol lay down their weapons. The apparent ultimatum comes as Russia continues its relentless and devastating attack on the southeastern city.
Russian state media Ria reported that "without exception" all "Ukrainian armed units and foreign mercenaries" must exit from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Moscow time (same as local time) "without any weapons and ammunition," citing the Russian Defense Ministry.
An estimated 100,000 people remain in Mariupol and its immediate surroundings, which are reported to be largely under Russian control, with Ukrainian troops confined to pockets of resistance.
Some context: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zekensky late Saturday called the situation in the besieged city of Mariupol "inhuman," saying the situation remained "as severe as possible."
"Russia is deliberately trying to destroy everyone who is there in Mariupol," he said in his latest video address.

Not good.
Didn’t we hear a similar ultimatum about a month ago?
Nuts
LOL!
Nuking it?
I think CNN needs a new translator. This order pertains to Azovstal.
My money is on a big boom but consistent rumors are that NATO folk, swiss, french, many nazis are holed up in there.
Tomorrow will be interesting.
The thing CNN for some reason decided to omit is that the city is under full Russian control except steel works where about 3,000 out of the original garrison of 14,800 are entrenched. The plant can be leveled without civilian casualties.
Another Easter Massacre for the history books.
Yes, this is the second time they've given a deadline for surrender.
Way to win the hearts and minds of the locals, Pootie.
You’re a Genius.
The intact Plant is an Objective.
Also a captured NATO general who has mastered the Carlos Castaneda ability of being in two places at once (he was also seen in Turkey when Russkies were making these claims).
They’re all holed in a bunker in Mariupol, right next to the Epstein tapes.
Well, something has obviously not gone to plan...
He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day. They should abandon their uniforms and weapons, sneak out, and regroup.
Why? It is not particularly intact at this point. It is just just to huge to mop up without casualties, meaning needs to blow up. Alternatively, the garrison needs to give up because it makes no sense to hide.
The Russians don’t want to take on the steel works because there are no Ukrainian women there to gang rape and murder.
RE: Nuts
A man who knows history.
And you are correct, this is a very similar situation.
BRAVO
