A British soldier fighting alongside Ukrainian marine in Mariupol has said his unit has no choice but to surrender to the Russians.

Former care worker Aiden Aslin, 28, who moved to Ukraine in 2018 after falling in love with a woman from Mykolaiv, said forces have run out of supplies with Russians closing in.

He said in a message posted via a contact on Twitter: 'It's been 48 days, we tried our best to defend Mariupol but we have no choice but to surrender to Russian forces.

'We have no food and no ammunition. It's been a pleasure everyone, I hope this war ends soon.'

The post added: 'We're putting this out after direct consultation with his family. Until we're told otherwise we'll continue working on sharing the facts of the war. Hope for a prisoner exchange.'

There are an estimated 10,000 civilians who have been killed by Putin's army in Mariupol which has seen some of the worst fighting of the war.

Corpses are now 'carpeted through the streets' of the crucial port city, according to its mayor Vadym Boychenko.

He accused Russian forces of having blocked weeks of attempted humanitarian convoys into the city in part to conceal the carnage. Boychenko said the death toll in Mariupol alone could surpass 20,000.

Boychenko also gave new details of allegations by Ukrainian officials that Russian forces have brought mobile cremation equipment to Mariupol to dispose of the corpses of victims of the siege.

Russian forces have taken many bodies to a huge shopping center where there are storage facilities and refrigerators, Boychenko said.

'Mobile crematoriums have arrived in the form of trucks: You open it, and there is a pipe inside and these bodies are burned,' he said.

Boychenko spoke from a location in Ukrainian-controlled territory but outside Mariupol.

The mayor said he had several sources for his description of the alleged methodical burning of bodies by Russian forces in the city, but did not further detail the sources of his information.

Russia economy is finished as if Russians always care about economy when their national interest is threatening.
Even Austria government said it, that Russia will continue with her operation no matter what no matter the cost until they wiped out all those Nazis.
