Vladimir Putin has killed twice as many people in Mariupol than Adolf Hitler did during World War 2, the Ukrainian city's mayor has claimed.
In a grave warning to western allies, Mayor Vadym Boychenko said that the number will only increase if more pressure is not piled on the Russian President.
Boychenko is firefighting a crisis of a huge scale, with 82 days of bombardment and decomposing bodies infiltrating the water supply, thus triggering a deadly epidemic.
