Ukraine denies Russian claims: We have not delivered Mariupol

The remaining Ukrainian forces in the southern port of Mariupol are still fighting and continue to challenge Russia's demand that they surrender, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said Sunday.

"The city hasn't fallen yet," Mr. Shmyhal told ABC's U.S. television Sunday, adding that Ukrainian soldiers continue to control parts of the city.

Mr. Shmyhal said he will attend international monetary fund and World Bank meetings in Washington this week and seek more financial assistance for Ukraine.

Russia continues to expect Ukrainian fighters in the besieged port city of Mariupol to hand over their weapons.

According to the Reuters agency, although several hours have passed the deadline that Russian troops had set, there were no signs that Ukrainian fighters, trapped in the large Azovstal steel plant, would agree to this request.

In his evening speech Saturday President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that "the situation in Mariupol remains extremely serious and inhumane. Russia is deliberately trying to destroy all those in Mariupol."

If Russia invades this city, it would mark the first time Russian troops would have control of one of Ukraine's largest cities since the attack began on February 24.

Mr Zelenskyy said he had talked to the British and Swedish prime minister on Saturday about the situation in Mariupol, the possibility of tightening sanctions against Russia, as well as protecting and guaranteeing support for Ukraine.

Russia has also resumed missile attacks on some cities and artillery attacks on others.

"Although we have heard a lot about the goals they have to help Ukraine fight Russian troops," Zelenskyy said in his speech, "none of them have yet been realized" as he said.

An explosion in Kharkiv on Saturday destroyed a community kitchen set up by the World Central Kitchen of famous chef Jose Andres, who is distributing food to the population in some areas of Ukraine.

Mr. Andres told the Associated Press news agency that his organization's chefs will continue to cook and distribute food in Ukraine. He said giving food in the middle of a pointless war is an act of courage and resistance.
