A Ukrainian mother tells of her two-month-long and horrific stay in a basement of the Azovstal plant. Anna Zaitseva and her four-month-old son Svyatoslav had spent two months under Russian siege of the large Azovstal complex near Mariupol.

"When we did not have hot water for him, we used a candle to heat water," she says, holding her young son in her arms. Anna Zaitseva also reports on how she continues to be affected by the involuntary and long stay in the shelter.

He is ideal, "says Anna Zaitseva. “I do not want him to experience this story again. Or experience it again with her children, "says Anna Zaitseva.
