Mariupol Hero of Ukraine

Mariupol was founded on the site of a former Cossack encampment known as Kalmius, and granted city rights in 1778. Mariupol played a key role in the industrialization of Ukraine, and was a centre for the grain trade, metallurgy, and heavy engineering, including the Illich Steel & Iron Works and Azovstal. Not only was Mariupol a centre for trade and manufacturing, it also played a key role in the development of higher education and various other businesses. From 1948 to 1989, the city was named Zhdanov, after the Soviet functionary Andrei Zhdanov, as part of the practice of renaming cities after Communist leaders. In 2014, Mariupol was threatened by separatists during the War in Donbas, but was secured by Ukrainian troops. It was appointed the provisional administrative centre of the Donetsk Oblast after the city of Donetsk became the capital of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic. Separatists attacked the city several times after that.

Severely Damaged Mariupol

Since February 2022, the city has been besieged and severely damaged as part of the Russian invasion, in which it received the title of Hero City of Ukraine. On 11 April 2022 Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Mariupol had been "completely destroyed". On 21 April 2022, after nearly two months of fighting, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that Mariupol was under Russian control. Ukrainian resistance continue despite of Russia claimed if they left behind their weapons they would guarantee their lives. Ukrainian forces refused to surrender and portions of the Metallurgical Combine Azovstal remained under their control.
