DESPERATE residents trapped in a destroyed Ukrainian city have resorted to drinking radiator water & eating stray DOGS, a report claims.
Mariupol has been under intense attack from Russia for the last three weeks with Ukrainian resistance fighters pushing back against Putin’s forces.
However, the situation for residents trapped by ongoing fighting has become unbearable, according to a new report from the FT.
Reporter Guy Chanzan says the situation has gotten so bad that people are resorting to eating dogs and drinking water from any source they can find – because streams have been contaminated by rotten corpses.
Chazan wrote: “In the besieged city of Mariupol, scene of the heaviest fighting in Russia’s three-week war on Ukraine, people are now so hungry they are killing stray dogs for food.
The reporter also wrote how “witnesses depicted post-apocalyptic scenes of stray dogs eating the remains of bombing victims who lay unburied on the street”.
He added: “Russia’s medieval-style siege of Mariupol also left its residents facing an acute shortage of both food and water. With no gas, they cook food on campfires made from broken furniture in the courtyards of their houses.”
Mariupol, which has been the scene of some of the country’s most intense fighting, has seen 2,400 residents of the city killed since Russia launched its invasion.
Some 400,000 people have also been left displaced by Russia’s brutal advance.
