The city of Mariupol, located on the coast of the Sea of Azov in Ukraine, has been under siege for about two weeks.
Photographs and satellite images from the city show the extent of the conflict.
Flattened apartments, a demolished shopping mall, and a hacked maternity hospital are just some of the highlights.
At least one mass grave has been opened for those who lost their lives in the city.
The city, where 400 thousand people lived before the war, has been subjected to intense bombardment for days.
Mayor Sergey Orlov says that stocks of food and drinking water have decreased, and there is no electricity, water and natural gas in the networks.
Orlov says that people melt snow to drink water, cut wood for heating and cooking at sub-zero degrees.
It was announced that three people, including a child, were killed and 17 injured in an attack on a maternity hospital on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy said was a war crime.
The destruction in and around the university near the hospital also reveals the extent of the bombardment.
The images shared by the satellite technology company Maxar also show the destruction in the south and east of this city, which is disconnected from the outside world.
Another satellite photograph shows the destroyed shopping mall buildings.
Mariupol is a critical city for Russia. If they take over here, Crimea, which they captured in 2014, will have land connection with both Russia and the two regions in Donbas, which declared its independence from Ukraine.
