European official: Marioupolis may fall into Putin's hands within days

The anonymous European official said Marioupol could suffer more than the town of Bucha, where Russian troops are accused of massacres against unarmed civilians.

“We expect a complete destruction of the city and many civilian victims at Mariupol”, the European official has said.

My hair is it'll be worse than Bucha. And until May 9th, Putin may claim to have freed the city of Marioupolis. So, I think Marioupol will fall in the next few days. ”

Authorities in Marioupol say thousands of people were killed in the city.

In recent hours, Russia has given the last Ukrainian defenders in a steel workshop an ultimatum to surrender or die in the country.
