Mariupol is the site of one of the bloodiest battles in Europe since World War

However, the battle in 2022 was actually the second battle fought in the city in 8 years. In this video filmed on Victory Day (May 9th) we talk to the locals, explore the city and learn how a massacre of local civilians on May 9th 2014 led to the start of Ukranian Civil War, and eight years later to Russia’s full scale war in Ukraine.
