Mstyslav Chernov & Evgeniy Maloletka & Lori Hinnant in Mariupol

Inside Ukraine's city of hell where lost children buried in mass grave

The bodies of the children all lie here, dumped into a narrow trench hastily dug into the frozen earth of Mariupol to the constant drumbeat of shelling.

There is 18-month-old Kirill killed by shrapnel to the head, 16-year-old Iliya blown up playing football at a school field, and a girl no older than six in unicorn pyjamas who was among the first of the children to die.

They are stacked together with dozens of others in this mass grave on the outskirts of the city.
