Drone footage showed heavily damaged shopping mall and residential buildings in Ukrainian port city of Mariupol on Friday.

Mariupol is encircled by Russian forces and has seen fierce bombardment. A statement from the city council said that about 30,000 residents had managed to escape so far, but more than 350,000 remained stuck there.

Ukraine says more than 2,000 people have died so far in the city that has been a key strategic target for the Russian military in its offensive.

“The outskirts of the city were simply destroyed. And then I realised there were no safe places in the city anymore," Mariupol resident Oleksandr Bezimov told Reuters. "It is a dead zone for the next 40-50 years or even forever."
