Ukraine's Mariupol city has been '90%' destroyed after being besieged by Russian forces, the mayor says.

The Ukrainian port city of Mariupol in the south-east of the country has been "90%" destroyed after being besieged by Russian forces, its mayor Vadym Boichenko said Monday.

"The sad news is that 90% of the infrastructure in the city is destroyed and 40% is unrecoverable," Boichenko told a press conference.

Around 130,000 people remained trapped in the city, which continues to be pounded by Russian bombardments, he said.

Approximately half a million people lived in the city on the coast of the Sea of Azov before the outbreak of the war.

"The Russian army is brutally destroying Mariupol," Boichenko said.

"The bombings are incessant," the mayor said, with the notable use of "multiple rocket launchers."

According to Boichenko, the majority of the attacks on the city were coming "from the sea," where "Russian ships" were stationed.

"We are planning to evacuate the remaining residents, but we cannot do it today," he said.

Russia and Ukraine have blamed each other for the difficulties encountered by recent evacuation attempts.

Mariupol has been under siege from Russian forces for over a month, leaving the population to fend for themselves in conditions that have been denounced by the international community.

Let the Ukranian President just give them Donbass which is made up of ethnic Russians and end all of this.

He is also a war criminal.


Crimea opted to join their motherland in 2014 and the Ukranians are still saying No. No to what exactly?



Besides I have seen videos of Ukranians brutally murdering Russians, or leaving them to die in the cold so they are equally (or more) wicked.
It dawns on me that some of Russia's murders during their retreat might be as a pain for all Ukranians did to them.

10,000 dead soldiers isn't 300 soldiers. That's wicked for people that weren't targeting you (civilians).

Ukraine is one of the most foolish country in the world, They ruin their own country because of american NATO.

In war, there's no winner!

But will we ever listen?

Putin will pay some day

This is what happens during war. I don't know why some people will say "Putin will pay".

Say Yes to Peace


Stop Nairaland Tribal war

Definition of Ruins, a wasteland!

Former Germany chancellor was against Ukraine joining nato, she knew what the out come would look like....

Russia will not succeed.

that is what you get when you decides to give a crown to a clown. Your kingdom becomes a circus show.



It's a shame Ukrainians where decived by the propaganda of the west to elect a political novice into their highest seat of authority, now the whole citizens are feeling the repercussion of their decisions meanwhile the commedian in chief and his family are safe somewhere with billions of dollars in their bank account.

The question is, is it OK to consider Mariupol as part of Ukraine?

The people of the Mariupol, as well as other Donetsk region have asked Ukraine for a referendum to have their independence in peace if Ukraine still insist on being hostile to Russia who they (DPR) share a lot with but the Ukrainian Government have been denying them that right.

A war of Independence was started in 2014 which lasted for years (though guerilla style after failed open warfare). Ukraine succeeded in suppressing them until the Russian invasion.

So you see, Russian invasion is seen by the people of this region as well as Luhansk as a big brother coming to the rescue.

You know that kind of fight that you are being pummelled and with your remaining strength you looked up and saw you elder brother running towards the scene like John Cena.

This war sef, everyday Ukraine this, Russia that!!

Nuclear weapons never enter oo Ukraine don dey turn to Dust!

What if e enter nko?

Dey too should send hell FIRE to MOSCOW

Putin own too much abeg

Make we talk true

Russia will pay for it with their frozen assets

This war was caused by a man who lacked the political prowess to avoid conflict. Zelenski should have met with both US and Russia diplomatically and played neutral.

Terrorists will flood this thread to rejoice

Their stock in trade is always destruction and death

Ok

Nawao...ontop wetin nah!

Putin the merciful.

He actually left most bulidings standing.

Holyyy shittt

It will be rebuild after the siege.

B4 nko ... The actor has being payed and no refunds, the movie must be finsihed

Umm. I used to support Ukraine but the way things are going. I'm thinking about Ukraine is all alone in this. It's time they call of the war. America and uk should back off as well if then can not support with military action. They are keeping their country safe and scared to interfere but yet they are pushing Ukraine to continue. The sanctions are not working. Putin knows all this before the war.

Syria was destroyed too

time to Deploy ESN to Ukraine

Destroying a city you are struggling to take with long range rockets. Russia is not so great
