As reported, Russia's aggression caused a major humanitarian disaster in Mariupol. Almost 90% of the city was destroyed by enemy shelling.

Currently, more than 100,000 residents remain in the captured city.

The invaders are turning Mariupol and the surrounding villages into a military logistics hub for the Russian army.
