President Zelensky: “Mariupol is a peaceful and hard-working city without any internal malice. It was surrounded and blocked. It is being deliberately exhausted, deliberately tortured. The occupiers are deliberately cutting off communications. They have deliberately blocked food supply, water supply, and electricity. For the first time in decades, apparently, since the Nazi invasion, a child has died of dehydration in Mariupol.”

Mayor of Mariupol Vadym Boychenko: “I have no words today. As there are no more emotions. Mariupol experienced terrible grief. Another child died as a result of the blockade of our hometown. Cause of death is dehydration. Again. A child died of dehydration in Mariupol. My heart is full of pain and hatred for the Nazis who blockaded our Mariupol.”
