Russia calls on Mariupol to surrender | DW News

Russia's president is calling on Ukraine's last remaining defenders in Mariupol to surrender. The fighting is focused on the Azovstal steel plant where civilians and soldiers are sheltered mostly underground. Russia claimed it would pause its offensive to allow civilians to evacuate, but Ukraine says the facility was under attack from Russian troops throughout the day.

Southeastern Ukraine is one of the most dangerous places for foreign reporters. But a team from French public TV traveled with Russian units to see how local people are dealing with the Russian occupation. What they found were communities who were fighting the invaders just a few weeks ago, now choosing their words carefully.

Israel's prime minister says Russia's President Vladimir Putin has apologized for remarks by his foreign minister, who said Adolf Hitler had "Jewish blood". Naftali Bennet said Putin made the apology during a phone call. Putin's Foreign Minister made the false remark about Hitler to justify the Kremlin's claim that Ukraine is governed by Nazis, even though the country's president is Jewish.
