Russia's defense ministry on Thursday said 771 Ukrainian servicemen had surrendered from the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol in the last 24 hours, taking the total to 1,730 since Monday, said Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov at a briefing today, APA reports.
The ministry said 80 of those were wounded.
Hundreds of Ukrainian servicemen have surrendered from the labyrinth of bunkers and tunnels below the plant, though Moscow and Kyiv have given different estimates on numbers.
