DRAMATIC video showed the devastation that Russian forces caused in Mariupol city of Ukraine, on Thursday, (April 21).
At least 30,000 Ukrainian citizens were forcibly taken to Russia from the southeastern Ukrainian city of Mariupol by the Russian army since Russia launched a war on the country on Feb. 24, a senior Ukrainian official said.
"The stories about what happened in Mariupol, about the people who defended their homeland, will be written in educational books for 100 years, maybe 1,000 years," Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine's Interior Ministry, told Anadolu Agency.
Gerashchenko said the bodies of nearly 1,000 civilians were found in the Kyiv region, where the Ukrainian army has regained control, adding that hundreds of people are still missing.
