KYIV, Ukraine — The southeastern Ukrainian port city of Mariupol has been “90 percent” destroyed after being besieged by Russian forces, its mayor Vadym Boichenko says today.
“The sad news is that 90 percent of the infrastructure in the city is destroyed and 40 percent is unrecoverable,” Boichenko tells a press conference. Around 130,000 people remained trapped in the city, he says.
