"During the offensive aimed at liberating the city of Mariupol, at the request of Turkish President R. [Tayyip] Erdogan, a special operation was carried out in the Primorsky district on April 16 to free hostages held by Ukrainian Nazis in a Turkish mosque," Konashenkov said.

29 militants, including foreign mercenaries, were killed in the process, and the mosque was successfully unblocked.

"The hostages, citizens of one of the CIS countries, were released and taken to a safe place," Konashenkov added.

On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine will walk away from the negotiations table with Russia if Kiev's troops in Mariupol are eliminated.
