ZAPORIZHZHIA — The horrors of the bloodiest chapter so far in the Ukraine conflict are poignantly captured in the words and drawings of an eight-year-old boy.

Yegor Kravtsov kept a secret diary in Mariupol as Ukrainian forces fought an increasingly desperate defence against Russian troops.

The family have managed to flee to Zaporizhzhia — 100 kilometres across the frontline from devastated Mariupol. On a sunny day in Zaporizhzhia, he plays badminton and rides his scooter — a world away from the images of destruction he scrawled in his diary with a blue pen. His sister Veronika, 15, who has a deep scar on her head, said she hoped the diary"will be useful to someone in the future".
