The mayor of the besieged Mariupol, said that the little girl was called Tania and was pulled from the ruins of a damaged residential building.
“Her mother was killed. We do not know how long the girl was fighting for her life. We can not imagine how much suffering he had to endure. “In the last minutes of her life she was lonely, weak, scared, thirsty,” she said.
The mayor stressed that the story of the girl, mentioned earlier by the President of Ukraine in his speech, was “one of the many tragic stories of Mariupol, the city that has survived the blockade for the last eight days.”
Boichenko said: “The Russian invaders left cynically a city of half a million without water, light, heat and communications. All routes to the city are blocked. “All attempts to deliver food and medicine to the people of the city were thwarted by the Russian army.”
