The flight of a camera captures the devastation of the city, while the last redoubt of the Ukrainian troops resists in the Azovstal steel mill


The skeletons of the buildings, the burned facades and the rubble accumulated in the streets sum up at a glance the horror of the war in Mariupol, in southeastern Ukraine.

At the same time, at the Azovstal steel plant, located in the city's port, Ukrainian soldiers from the Azov Battalion remain, the last redoubt of resistance against the attacks of the Russian forces, who have blocked the exits of the underground passages of the plant, according to Efe.

Local authorities have assured, however, that the Ukrainian troops are "launching counterattacks".

The fight in the steel mill is the last battle in a devastated city, as can be seen in the video that accompanies the news.

The flight of a drone witnesses the passing of the bombs, which have destroyed 80% of the area.

Some shots show the beginning of the first debris removal work.

The United Nations fears that thousands of civilians have died in Mariupol due to attacks by Russian troops, and on Tuesday they indicated that they will be able to verify it when an observer mission can access the city, which before the invasion had a million inhabitants. .

The mayor, Vadim Boichenko, has denounced that thousands of residents of the city are feared to die of diseases contracted by the conditions that the Russian siege has caused.
