Up to 20,000 people may have been killed during the Russian bombardment of Mariupol, an advisor to the city’s mayor has claimed.
“Four days ago, we talked about an ‘optimistic’ scenario - about 10,000 victims. But with the increased intensity and the brutality that has increased many times over, we can say that if the blockade ends now and we can start at least searching for these people, the number of victims is already approaching 20,000,” Petro Andryushchenko told the Ukraine Pravda website.
