Today is the 14th day of the Mariupol defense from the Russian invasion. From 1 March, the city is fully encircled. - @Polk_Azov

The Russian troops are ruthlessly destroying both the city of Mariupol and its inhabitants with artillery and airstrikes. There is no electricity, water, gas, or communications due to the shelling. - @Polk_Azov

The invaders don't let humanitarian convoys into the city, civilians can't get out of the city. Mariupol's on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. People collect rainwater for drinking, prepare food on fire outdoors, bury the dead neighbors just in the yards. - @Polk_Azov

Those having nobody to bury them lie on Mariupol streets until the utility workers take them away and bury them in mass graves. Multiple houses were destroyed, people are hiding in bomb shelters and religious buildings, but the enemy is also shelling these buildings. - @Polk_Azov

"If the Ukrainian troops don't relieve the siege of the city in the near future, then a famine will begin in Mariupol, and the genocide of Ukrainians devised by Russians will be completed." - @Polk_Azov
