#Mariupol 00:00: #Azov barricaded some entrances to our building, floors 1 to 5, they weren't letting us out. Then incendiaries (they literally call them "incendiaries with tracers - phosphorus rounds") flew in. The house was burning, we were allowed to put out the fire, then they set it on fire again and left. Some weapons and shells were found in the building, people were taking them outside to avoid explosion. In the morning they came back and put a heavy machine gun in the burnt house. 01:00: Do you have any relatives to go to? - No [...] 01:15: We were going down the Peace Avenue, it's next to DNR positions, we asked [Azov] if we can go there - a concrete slab in our basement had collapsed, we couldn't stay there. They told us we could go. As we were walking down the Peace Avenue they fired nine rounds, red tracers, we were lucky. We ran behind the buildings and got to DNR who evacuated us out of there.

"Hello, I live in Mariupol, my name is Ekaterina Zaharova. On 2 March we went down to a basement, there were only few families there. As shelling intensified more and more people joined us. By 25 March we got out of the basement, but only 28 people instead of 30 did. One day before that, at 3:15 on March 24th, my son and my son-in law, Alyosha and Serezha were shot, most probably by AFU snipers. I wasn't allowed there, men from our group checked the scene and told me. I didn't get to say goodbye to my son (she means seeing his body) because there was intense shelling. We didn't allow them to go up but they took the risk. They went to the apartment to get some water (as we were out of water), get the cat and get the guitar because little girls were scared and crying. They left and never came back."

"This is hell. They were shooting us. Azov was shooting us. Azov. We saw this. I saw this personally. Let everybody know. Let the whole world now. Azov and Right Sector were killing us. Killing! That slag heap, you see - Azovstal. They were shelling from there. They completely destroyed the left bank. Completely. It's unrecoverable. Fascists! They are fascists! Killers, you understand. Even fascists didn't do what these inhumans did."

"We hate Ukraine! Thanks a lot to the Russian army" - refugees from Mariupol tell how Ukrainian army refused to open green corridors from the city and shot at civilians.
