70-year-old Valentina from shows journalists her apartment. Or what’s left of it after Russian shells left a path of devastation here. In the days and nights before, Valentina had been hiding in a basement. In view of the great destruction around her, she is only in despair: “I have lived here since I was born, my husband too. We got married here and had children. And now? What is left for us? I don’t want to leave Mariupol, but I have nowhere to live here.” According to a spokesman for the mayor, 5,000 people have died since the siege of the city began. How the number was calculated is not disclosed. Alexander is still alive. And reports of dramatic moments: “We were lucky. The inexperienced ran into the basement. I ran into my apartment – my windows there were broken by bullets and shrapnel. I ran back and forth, depending on where they shot. It was a big mess. But we survived, you see, survived. Thank God. Alive. Also for my daughter – your father lives.” Despite these images, there were also some reports of Ukrainian army successes on Monday. According to a spokesman for the US Department of Defense, Ukrainian troops are said to have recaptured the town of Trostjanets south of Sumy. And according to its mayor, the city of Irpin near Kyiv is once again completely in Ukrainian hands. This information cannot be independently verified.
