Evacuees fled over a decimated bridge, which had previously been blown up by Ukrainian forces in order to slow down Russian troops.
The family in the photo have been identified as Tetiana Perebyinis, 43, and her two children Mykyta, 18, and Alisa, 9. They were accompanied by Anatoly Berezhnyi, a 26-year-old church volunteer who was aiding them in their journey. Serhiy Perebyinis was in eastern Ukraine caring for his mother, who was recovering from COVID-19, when his wife and children attempted to flee. Once the fighting began, he was unable to leave the region. Perebyinis spoke to the Times about his family, saying he apologized to Tetiana for not being with them.
Mariupol, a port city located in the southeastern part of the country, has been under siege for days, enduring multiple air strikes while coping with a lack of electricity and heat. A maternity hospital was bombed on Wednesday, with officials reporting that three people, including a young girl, were killed in the attack; another 17 people were injured. A city university was also struck by Russian forces.
