History in the making.
This is a letter someone tried to send from Mariupol. Translated from russian, it says:
“Dima, mom died on 9th of March 2022. Died quickly. Then the house burned down. Dima, I’m sorry I couldn’t save her! I buried mom near the kindergarten. I love you”. In the bottom there a map to find the grave.
The city of Mariupol has been under siege for weeks. The people trapped inside don’t have electricity, water or food supplies. Cell phone, television and radio towers aren’t working anymore, now the people don’t have access to any information from the outside world.
80-90% of the city is destroyed. And it’s not a small town - almost 450k residents before the war.
No one knows if the man who wrote this letter is alive anymore.
