The Ukrainian president appeals for fresh UN help as Russians reportedly enter the city's last holdout.
Ukrainian officials say Russian forces have launched an all-out assault on the Azovstal steelworks, the last Ukrainian holdout in the city of Mariupol.
Russian forces are reported to have entered "the territory of the plant" after days of sustained attacks.The BBC has not been able to verify the reports of the Russian attack on the steel plant. President Volodymyr Zelensky has made a further appeal to the UN to help save the lives of those who remain there.
The Ukrainian leader thanked Mr Guterres for a successful UN and Red Cross-led evacuation this week, which rescued more than 100 people from the steelworks, but called on the UN to "assist in the removal of all the wounded from Azovstal".
