The scorched hell of Mariupol was captured by a photographer who fled the ghost city with his family and revealed: "We went to sleep at night not knowing if we’d wake up."
Sergiy Makarov , 34, took stark images and videos of obliterated buildings and innocent civilians crammed into basement bunkers during the four-week bombardment of the southern port city.
He told how locals had to dive into ditches to avoid relentless Russian airstrikes thought to have killed more than 2,500 people. Ukrainian officials estimate 300 people died when a drama theatre housing displaced residents was bombed.
