In photos provided by Azov Special Forces Regiment of the Ukrainian National Guard Press Office, a Ukrainian soldier can be seen standing inside the ruined Azovstal steel plant prior to surrendering to the Russian forces in Mariupol, Ukraine, May 16, 2022.
For nearly three months, Azovstal's garrison clung on, refusing to be winkled out from the tunnels and bunkers under the ruins of the labyrinthine mill.
A Ukrainian soldier-photographer documented the events and sent them to the world.
Now he is a prisoner of the Russians. His photos are his legacy.
