Russia’s Claim Of Mariupol’s Capture Fuels Concern For Pows

By ELENA BECATOROS, OLEKSANDR STASHEVSKYI and CIARAN McQUILLAN POKROVSK, Ukraine (AP) — Concern mounted Saturday over Ukrainian fighters who became prisoners at the end of Russia’s brutal three-month siege of Mariupol, as a Moscow-backed separatist leader vowed they would face tribunals. Russia claimed full control of the Azovstal steel plant, which for weeks was the last holdout in Mariupol and a symbol of Ukrainian tenacity in the strategic port city, now in ruins with more than 20,000 residents feared dead.
