Ukraine rejected a Russian demand that its forces lay down arms before dawn on Monday in Mariupol, where hundreds of thousands of civilians have been trapped in a city under siege and already laid to waste by Russian bombardment.
Nowhere has suffered worse than Mariupol, a port on the Azov Sea, home to 400,000 people before the war. It has been under siege and constant bombardment, with no food, medicine, power or fresh water, since the invasion’s early days.
There are reports in Russian media of what might happen if Russian forces do take over. Defence officials say Ukrainian authorities in Mariupol could face a military tribunal… for siding with what they call "bandits."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is calling the situation in Mariupol a terror that will be remembered for centuries.
Mike Armstrong has the latest.
