Russia claims 1,026 Ukrainian soldiers have surrendered in the besieged port city of Mariupol

But a top adviser to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky insists the city is still standing and the marines have joined another battalion.

The mayor of Mariupol says some 21,000 civilians have been killed in the southern city and 100,000 are still awaiting evacuation.

For the first time, US President Joe Biden has accused "dictator" Vladimir Putin of genocide in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky praises Biden's remark as "true words of a true leader".

The presidents of Poland, Latvia and Estonia and are travelling to the capital Kyiv to meet Zelensky.

But Germany's president has been told he is "not wanted" because of "close ties" to Russia in recent years.
