The Ukrainian port city of Mariupol in the south-east of the country has been “90 percent” destroyed after being besieged by Russian forces, its mayor Vadym Boichenko said Monday.

“The sad news is that 90 percent of the infrastructure in the city is destroyed and 40 percent is unrecoverable,” Boichenko told a press conference. Around 130,000 people remained trapped in the city, he said.
