Ukraine announced that all women, children and elderly had been evacuated from a steel plant, a key Russian war objective that has long been under siege.
The final battle for Mariupol is taking place inside the Azovstal steel plant, a massive coastal complex in the besieged city. Hundreds of civilians are still trapped inside, officials say.
The Russian Defense Ministry said it will open a humanitarian corridor for civilians on Monday, but Ukrainian officials said they had not agreed with Russia on a route and leaving would not be safe.
Ukrainian officials have estimated that about 2,000 of their troops are inside the plant along with the civilians sheltering in the facility's underground tunnels.
New satellite images show what appear to be mass graves near Mariupol, and local officials accused Russia of burying up to 9,000 Ukrainian civilians there.
