“95% of all buildings were destroyed in Mariupol! It is one of the largest cities not only in Ukraine but also in Europe. 500 thousand inhabitants. How many of them were killed – no one knows. Nobody knows how many people remain”, he said.
Zelenskyy also said that the Russian occupiers had brought crematoria to Mariupol to burn the bodies of killed Ukrainians.
“They just burn people’s corpses so that there is a minimum of evidence. But still, you see – in Bucha, Borodyanka, Dmytrivka – it will not be enough to hide all this. It is impossible, so there will be evidence,” he added.
