HEARTBREAKING drone footage shows desperate residents forming a HUGE queue to receive humanitarian aid in war-torn city of Mariupol, Ukraine.

The Ukrainian port of Mariupol, once a city of 400,000 people, has been almost completely flattened by prolonged Russian bombardment aimed at breaking the resistance of the city's Ukrainian defenders.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been hiding in basements with no running water, food, medicine or power, unable or unwilling to leave. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has said there was "nothing left" of the city.

Russia's Defence Ministry has blamed "Ukrainian nationalists" for what it called the "humanitarian catastrophe" in Mariupol.

After four weeks of conflict, Russia has failed to seize any big city and with its ground advances seemingly stalled has engaged in aerial bombardments of cities, causing a humanitarian crisis. The Kremlin denies targeting civilians.

Although the Kremlin says its operation is going to plan, Russian forces have taken heavy losses and face supply problems.

How diligently the camera does not show that the aid is distributed by the Russian Army

I got up this morning groaning and moaning because it's now been raining for over two weeks. Then I watched the news and see these brave people. Behaving with a consideration and dignity that is unbelievable, given the circumstances. Know what, I don't care if it rains for another month. I am safe. I am warm. I have enough food. I am am ashamed of myself. My world is blessed in comparrison. My heart and prayers go out to all the Ukraines.

This must be Russian footage otherwise that drone wouldn't have lasted long. I saw a whole battalion of Russian a Chechen soldiers camped at that metro supermarket yesterday.

So heartbreaking and yet I am at awe that they still lined up, patiently waiting amid the threat that something might strike or hit them anytime. They are so disciplined and brave.
