DAKAR (Reuters) – At least 1,170 civilians have been killed in Ukraine’s besieged city of Mariupol since the start of the Russian invasion, a Ukrainian state information agency said on Wednesday, citing figures from Mariupol’s deputy mayor.
“At least 1,170 people have been killed and 47 were buried in a mass grave today,” deputy mayor Serhiy Orlov was quoted as saying. “People are without water, heat, electricity, gas, residents are melting snow to drink.”
