"It is death for some of us, and captivity for the rest," the brigade added, saying it had been "pushed back" and "surrounded" by Russian troops.
Appealing to South Korea s National Assembly for military assistance, Ukraine s President Volodymyr Zelensky told lawmakers Russia had "completely destroyed" the city and "burned it to ashes".
