A city ruined. In once quiet residential streets- two armies battle- driving people into cellars and basements with little food or water. No lights or heat. Dwindling medical supplies. Shells and bullets deliver cruel- random death to the young and old- men- women- and children. This is Mariupol- a Ukrainian city and early target of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Bordering Russian-occupied territory- the coastal city seemed doomed to a defeat that would come within days- if not hours. Could Mariupol- and Ukraine- survive? As Russian rockets threatened the city- Ukrainians resisted- and with a heroic combination of sacrifice and bravery- the besieged city endured... for months. But it all came at a steep cost. 83 Days in Mariupol is the story of senseless destruction- patriotism- and grit against long odds-a brutal battle whose consequences still reverberate across Ukraine and continue to reshape the global political landscape.
