Adviser to the mayor of Mariupol Petro Andryushchenko said that the number of victims of Russian shelling in the city could approach 20 thousand. He announced this on Nastoyaschee Vremya TV channel.
In addition, Petro Andryushchenko added that 80% of the housing stock is unfit for life.
Comment: “With the increased intensity and the brutality that has increased many times, we can say that if the blockade ends now and we can start at least searching for these people, the number of victims will be close to 20,000. But if this does not happen in the coming days, the number will approach 350,000 – all those who did not have time to leave, “Andryushchenko said.
“Someone is being buried somewhere – in the yards, on the streets. Due to the intensity of the shelling, people cannot even go outside to bury their relatives. Municipal services do not work, the cemetery – in the territory controlled by the Russian army. Death is everywhere, it is visible, “he added.
