Aerial view of Ukraine's Mariupol shows devastation of Russian attack

This used to be a residential area full of people and businesses in the vibrant city of Mariupol which before the war was home to about 400,000 people.

Russian and Ukrainian forces have fought for over a month, struggling to take control of the city.

Civilians trapped there have been sheltering in basements with little food, power or running water.

Citizens were expected to evacuate the city on Sunday but the Red Cross convoy is struggling to reach them because the area is not safe to enter yet.

Amazingly Ukraine protects NATO, not NATO protects Europe. NATO turned out to be "a paper" tiger. Ukrainans with Zelensky at lead are heros

I think total liquidation of Ukrainian state as inherently Nazi state is inevitable now. I just hope this war criminal Zelenskyy and his henchmen will face justice and won't be just eliminated by their CIA handlers or die from overdose. The way their Nazi units use civilians as human shield in cities like Mariupol and numerous summary executions across the country are absolutely despicable. Even Hitler’s Nazis found Ukrainian Nazis who worked for them too barbaric and cruel .
