The situation in Mariupol since the relentless bombing of recent weeks is dramatic.

The city has almost been razed to the ground, with more than 2,500 dead, according to Ukrainian President Zelensky’s adviser Oleksiy Arestovych in a televised interview today. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian side is accusing Russian forces of blocking humanitarian aid from reaching the besieged city.

A new aerial video released on Monday, shows damaged buildings in Mariupol to “smoke” from the bombings.
