An Associated Press journalist witnessed Russian tanks firing on a 9-story apartment block in the besieged city of Mariupol, Ukraine, and was with a group of medical workers who came under sniper fire in the city, which is surrounded by Russian soldiers.
“We came to my brother’s , all of us together. The women and children went underground and then some mortar struck that building. We were trapped underground, and two children died. No one was able to save them,″ she said through tears.
In a video message broadcast to European cities on Saturday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the families of the 79 children killed in the war “had been destroyed,” and pleaded for help from Europe so that the number does not grow. “They are bombing it 24 hours a day ... launching missiles,” he said, recalling the destruction this week of a maternity hospital in the city. “It is hatred. They kill children. They destroy maternity hospitals. They destroy hospitals, why? So Ukraine has no more children.”
