In an official release from a Russian State Sponsored media outlet, members of a Russian special operations team and DPR forces can be seen maneuvering on the Azovstal Industrial Area.

Currently in Mariupol, the only location still under the control of Ukrainian forces is the Azovstal Industrial Area. Many of the Ukrainian troops in the city have been forced to surrender after running out of supplies, giving the Russian and Chechen forces the freedom of movement they need to advance on Azovstal, which is where Ukrainian forces have been headquartered throughout the duration of the siege.

This footage shows members of the Russian Military and DPR maneuvering on the area. They only encounter light resistance in the footage. According to Chechen sources, which aren't the most reliable, Russian and Chechen forces are in control of Azovstal, with all remaining Ukrainian forces being forced into the underground portion of the area, which is quite expansive.
