reporter: it s a terrible situation, alex. for 53 days, the russians have been pounding mariupol. employed the worst tactics, medieval, siege and starvation tactics in mariupol from the first day. every person we ve spoken to, every account we ve heard from mariupol just paints a horrifying picture of what s happened in that city. look, alex, that was a city of maybe 450,000 people. there are maybe less than 100,000 people hemmed in there under the most appalling conditions, and the ukrainian troops still in there, several hundred of them definitely less than 1,000, are fighting tooth and nail to keep the russians out of there. one, because it s such a strategic place that would connect the russian mainland to the crimea, giving them a land bridge. got that steel factory you talked about, one of the big evidence in europe and a huge win for russians but there s nothing left of that city.
