The Russian siege of the Ukrainian city of Mariupol it’s brutal and several NGOs already warn that the situation there is apocalyptic. The deaths of civilians are counted by dozens and the images of destroyed buildings multiply.
From under that rubble they have rescued a child after one of those attacks. The images are heartbreaking: the little one had been trapped between concrete and, almost unconscious, the rescuers have put a helmet on him and taken him out.
The city, completely destroyed, is without water or electricity and the Ukrainian government has already announced that they are going to try to open a new humanitarian corridor. So far, none of the previous six attempts have been successful.
Is about a city of more than 400,000 inhabitants that is key for Putin due to its strategic position. None of the attempts to organize a local ceasefire and safe exit have succeeded.
The Russian Defense Ministry said it would open humanitarian corridors from Kiev, Sumy, Kharkiv, Mariupol and Chernihiv. However, according to the Ukrainian president, not a single civilian had been able to leave Mariupol on Thursday, a day after the attack on the hospital that left three dead.
