Yegor Kravtsov kept a secret diary in Mariupol asSpending weeks in a basement with his family, Yegor filled the pages of a small blue book with an idyllic image of Greece on its cover.

"I slept well, then I woke up, smiled and read 25 pages. Also, my grandfather died on April 26th," Yegor says, reading from a page in his diary after escaping the now Russian-held city with his mother and sister.

A missile strike had caused the ceiling of their home to fall in on them - all three suffered injuries. There are armed men, tanks, a helicopter and exploding buildings. In one drawing, the ceiling of his house is shown collapsing following the missile strike on their home. Images of the diary were first posted online by Yegor's great-uncle Yevgeniy Sosnovsky, a photographer who documented the battle for Mariupol before leaving the city last month.
