A Ukrainian commander from the 36th Separate Marine Brigade in the besieged city of Mariupol has made an urgent plea in a video shared on his Facebook page, saying that his forces were probably facing their 'last days, if not hours'. 
Serhiy Volyna said his troops were outnumbered 10 to 1 and appealed to world leaders to help 500 wounded soldiers and hundreds of civilians trapped in the city. 'We ask them to use the procedure of extraction and take us to the territory of a third-party state,' he said
