		</div><p>The mayor of the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol says those hiding at a massive steel mill are running out of food, water and medicine.</p>
<p>Vadym Boichenko described the situation at the Avozstal steel plant as dire.</p>
<p>The steel mill is the last position held by Ukrainian fighters, who also are with civilians.</p>
<p>The Soviet-era facility has a vast underground network of bunkers able to withstand airstrikes.</p>
<p>But the situation has grown more extreme after the Russians dropped a series of so-called “bunker buster” bombs and unguided munitions.</p>
<p>“Locals who manage to leave Mariupol say it is hell, but when they leave this fortress, they say it is worse,” Mr Boichenko said, according to a translator.</p>
<p>“They are begging to get saved.”</p>
<p>He added: “There, it’s not a matter of days, it’s a matter of hours.”</p>
<p>Mr Boichenko said he hoped a ceasefire would allow those inside the steel mill to safely leave.</p>
<p>Russia earlier offered a truce that was rejected by Ukrainians, who said Moscow previously broke other agreements.</p>
<p>“We hope there’s a slight touch of humanity in the enemy,” the mayor said.</p>
<p>Mr Boichenko spoke in a government-organised video conference.</p>
