A Ukrainian MP has written a heartbreaking thread about how his home town of Mariupol has been destroyed.
Dmyrto Gurin took to social media after his city came under seige, with an estimated 200,000 people waiting to flee.
Hospitals in Mariupol are facing desperate shortages of antibiotics and painkillers, and doctors performed some emergency procedures without them.
The lack of phone service left anxious citizens approaching strangers to ask if they knew relatives living in other parts of the city and whether they were safe.
Commenting on the crisis, Gurin penned a thread explaining the destruction, with his parents currently struggling to survive in the face of a relentless Russian onslaught.
