MARIUPOL — People are slowly starting to return to the streets of the southern Ukrainian city of Mariupol, pummelled by weeks of shelling from Russian forces and now fully under Russian control.

On Monday , local residents charged electric devices from generators and exchanged food and clothes at impromptu street markets, while at an empty bus station Russian state television blared out from a giant screen brought in by officials.

A man called Mr Nikolai said he had also come to charge his phone, as there was no electricity available at the train station where he now lives. Neither gave family names. Others had set up their own stalls to sell - or exchange - products, including vegetables and shoes. One woman — who did not give her name — said few products were left after looting plagued the city.

Moscow's capture of Mariupol helped it secure full control of the Sea of Azov coast and create a land bridge linking mainland Russia to Crimea, which it annexed from Ukraine in 2014.People charge their electronic devices in front of a theatre building destroyed during Ukraine-Russia conflict in the southern port city of Mariupol, Ukraine May 30, 2022.
