About our Mariupol news
Latest news on the city of Mariupol, an internationally recognised part of Ukraine that is under de facto administration of the breakaway Donetsk People's Republic.
The city was besieged and largely destroyed during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, for which it received the title of Hero City of Ukraine. On 16 May 2022, the last resistance, the Ukrainian and allied troops in Azovstal Steel Plant surrendered to Russian forces and were taken to Russian-held territory in the Donetsk People's Republic, as Russia secured complete control over the city.
