Mariupol, February–March 2022. Eyewitness accounts of the first shelling of the Eastern district, the beginning of the full-scale invasion, and the complete blockade of the city without electricity, gas, or communication — and how people survived under daily attacks, without water or food, with the wounded left without medical supplies.
This video is a testimony to the real siege of Mariupol, the losses, trauma, and the process of recovery after what was endured.
