Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has revealed he offered the defenders of Mariupol the option to retreat, but they declined.
They refused to abandon their dead or wounded, said Zelenskyy in an interview Sunday with independent Russian journalists.
Zelenskyy also said Ukraine was ready for compromise on the eastern Donbas region, which has been partially controlled by Russia-backed separatists since 2014.
"It's impossible to make Russia give up the territory completely," he admitted.
Zelenskyy's latest remarks come as Ukraine and Russia said ceasefire negotiations would resume on Tuesday.
Earlier talks have failed to make progress on ending the war, which has claimed the lives of thousands of people and driven more than ten million Ukrainians from their homes.
