Russian forces are in control of large swaths of Mariupol after weeks of siege and bombardment, the city’s mayor Monday.

“Not everything is in our power,” Mayor Vadym Boichenko told CNN Monday. “Unfortunately, we are in the hands of the occupiers today.”



“According to our estimates, about 160,000 people are in the besieged city of Mariupol today, where it is impossible to live because there is no water, no electricity, no heat, no connection,” he said. “And it’s really scary.”

The apparent loss of Mariupol comes after nearly a month of heavy bombardment, and days of fierce street fighting.
