'On March 8, the worst began. Russia began to launch airstrikes. First with an interval of a couple of hours, and then every minute.' A photographer from Mariupol told CNN about his experience surviving the Russian siege and his eventual evacuation.
On February 24, I woke up to a friend calling me. He said that the war had begun. He suggested I move with my family to Ivano-Frankivsk. I refused. It seemed to us that Mariupol was a safe place in this time. A lot of defense equipment and Ukrainian military had appeared since 2014.Then on February 26, air raid sirens began to sound in the city. The suburbs came under fire, but in the city center where I lived it was quiet.
It's a concrete basement without light and ventilation. As long as we could, we burned kerosene and candles. Fortunately we had a toilet. All this time I was trying to contact people outside the city, charging my phone from the generator from the Red Cross. Many people accepted the fact that the connection was gone, but I was not ready to give up on it. From March 6-9 there was no connection at all. For a moment, I thought we had been forgotten. On March 8, the worst began.
