Serhii, father of teenager Iliya, cries on his son's lifeless body lying on a stretcher Wednesday at a maternity hospital converted into a medical ward in Mariupol, Ukraine. “Many young men in athletic clothes and armed with Kalashnikovs have come into the city. They are breaking down doors and trying to get into the apartments of local residents,” the statement from Energoatom said.
