Video shows burnt-out tanks, debris in Mariupol

STORY: People walked through the streets with debris including burnt-out tanks, which litter significant swathes of the city.

The mayor of Mariupol appealed on Friday for the "full evacuation" of the city, which Russian President Vladimir Putin said is now under Russian control.

Putin said on Thursday that Russian troops had "liberated" Mariupol, which would make it the biggest city to fall into Russian hands since the start of what Moscow calls a "special military operation."

But a contingent of Ukrainian fighters are still holding out in the underground bunkers of the Azovstal steel complex, alongside hundreds of civilians in desperate conditions, according to Ukrainian authorities.
