The Russian Defense Ministry said its troops found "152 bodies of dead fighters and soldiers of Ukraine's armed forces" that it claims were stored in a refrigeration unit and that "four mines" were found under the bodies. "The Russian side plans to hand over the bodies of Ukrainian fighters and servicemen found on the territory of the Azovstal plant to representatives in Ukraine," the ministry added, according to the French news agency."
After Moscow seized Mariupol in late April, the city's remaining defenders were holed up for weeks in the underground tunnels beneath the giant Azovstal steelworks. Earlier in May, hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers surrendered to Moscow troops in Azovstal and Russia said they would be tried.
