Maria's city on fire

The war in Ukraine began on February 24, but in Mariupol it all started 8 years ago. Over the years, being close to the conflict line, Mariupol nevertheless developed and turned into a modern European city.

Due to the inept actions of the authorities and the disbelief of the inhabitants in the possibility of a full-scale war, already on March 1, the entire city was surrounded. For more than 3 weeks, residents were locked in the city under constant shelling, without electricity, gas, water and heating. Moreover, the city, cut off from supplies, was left without food and drinking water. For many days, people risked their lives to cook food on fires and melt water from the snow.
According to conservative estimates, more than 20,000 people have died in the city since the outbreak of hostilities. About 90% of the housing stock has been destroyed. But the worst thing is that no one gives full information about the situation in Mariupol. There are many stories from the city and this tragedy of the Mariupol hell has not bypassed anyone. I'll tell you the one that still makes me wince.
