It said the last 531 people had surrendered to them, adding that 2,439 defenders had surrendered in the past few days.
They also showed a video where a line of unarmed men approached Russian soldiers outside the plant and gave them names.
Each man and their possessions were searched. And the Russian soldiers also made the defenders show their tattoos. Many of the Azov regiment have the same tattoo.
Moscow has been calling the Azov militia who were defending the steel plant “Nazis”. The unit formed in 2014 fought Russian-backed separatists in the first invasion of Ukraine.
Ukraine asked defenders to stand down
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that the defenders had been told by the Russian military that if they could get out now, they could save their lives. And he ordered those left in the garrison to “stand down” on Monday.
It is unknown if Russia will honor the promise to let the defenders live.
The 2,439 that surrendered earlier in the week were mostly wounded and/or civilians.
