New satellite images of the war-torn city of Mariupol show the devastation that Russian airstrikes and artillery have wrought on the Ukrainian seaside city.
In the images released by Maxar Technologies on Tuesday, nearly all visible structures appear to be either damaged or destroyed. In one striking image, a large crowd of people can be seen gathered around a supermarket in the southern Ukrainian city that has been cutoff from food, water, and electricity since Russian President Vladimir Putin's forces invaded the country last month.
Outside the Metro supermarket in Mariupol, hundreds of people can be seen gathered around the outside of the building, which appears to have sustained damage to the roof during the war, possibly trying to get food.Mariupol's mayor estimated on Monday that as many as 160,000 civilians remain in the city, where entire city blocks and apartment complexes appear to be leveled in the new satellite images.
Some of the war's most brutal assaults have taken place in the southern Ukrainian city, including the attack on the theater that was serving as a civilian shelter and the bombing of a maternity hospital where several pregnant women were preparing to give birth. While Russian forces have also suffered heavy losses in the city, Putin is expected to deploy more than 1,000 mercenaries from the Wagner Group, including senior leaders of the company, into southern Ukraine to engage in combat operations, the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense said on Monday. Retired U.S. Air Force Col. Cedric Leighton told CNN on Monday that the Wagner Group mercenaries will possibly be used"to mop up Mariupol.
