Resident of Mariupol paints grim picture of situation: "This is horror"
A resident of the besieged city of Mariupol in southern Ukraine has recorded a video diary of the desperate situation in the city.
Here is what the resident said:
"The town of Mariupol, March 13. The 18th day of the war. The town is besieged....
Theres no humanitarian aid and will not be. The evacuation of peaceful people is impossible. People are in a devastating situation. Water, food are coming to an end, people are forced to break into shops, in search for necessities , including logs - its minus 7 right now . And heres what we see in every shop.
Russian military vehicles and also from DNR [the Russian-backed Peoples Republic of Donetsk] are not ashamed of air strikes, the town is under air strikes, and shelling from grads and mortars...
There are thousands of victims among peaceful civilians
in all parts of the city! I've been on the left side, now I am in Illicha [a district of Mariupol]
Its like a meat grinder here.
We feel bitterness, desperation this land has been soaked with this
Russians came here under a reasonable, in their view, proposition, but they sowed despair fear, bitterness
they have taken away our peace
They are killing us
Thats whats happening
The town has no electricity for 13 days, no heating, water
And the world doesnt know whats happening here
This is horror
Heres our good morning... "
