While many civilian settlements have been destroyed in the war between Russia and Ukraine, which has been ongoing since February 24, new images from Mariupol, where a large portion of the city has been destroyed, have emerged. The people of Mariupol are striving to survive in the aftermath of the Russian bombardment, which left behind traces of fires in buildings, burned vehicles, and destroyed electricity poles and buildings.
The Russian army has blocked attempts to distribute humanitarian aid to the people of Mariupol and to evacuate citizens by opening a corridor, according to Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk, who made the announcement earlier.
