Russian forces have resumed their assault on a sprawling steel factory in the devastated Ukrainian port of Mariupol, using aircraft to pound Ukrainian fighters holding out there.

Ukraine’s General Staff said in its daily assessment on May 6 that Russians were using aircraft as part of the renewed assault on the plant.

“There are many wounded, but they are not surrendering. They are holding their positions”, - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on May 5 in his nightly video address.
