Hundreds of thousands of residents have now lost electricity, water and heat.

Russian artillery is pounding the city. The escape routes are blocked. Civilians die in droves.
Mariupol is almost as big as Oslo. The situation in the city, where most people speak Russian, is described as a humanitarian disaster by the Red Cross.
– We have no roads in and out of the city. It is impossible to get humanitarian and medical help. We do not even get people buried in our own graves, he says.
