BRAVE Ukrainians are refusing a ceasefire with Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin - as footage showed a hero of Mariupol tattooed with Spartan slogans of defiance.
President Volodymyr Zelensky ruled out agreeing to any deal that hands over land to Putin amid a heightened offensive in the eastern Donbas region.
It came after the Ukrainian leader confirmed the Azovstal steel plant in the strategic port of Mariupol is now under Russian control.
Video obtained by the Daily Mirror shows surrendering troops there being stripped and inspected by Russian soldiers, checking for tattoos that may help in their propaganda that the Ukrainians have far-right allegiances.
One Ukrainian lieutenant - operating under the callsign Chemist - is seen showing tattooed words across his knuckles translating as: "Kill them all."
