Heartbreaking moment dad weeps over body of teen son killed in Putin’s ‘genocidal’ bombing of Ukrainian city

A HEARTBREAKING photo shows a distraught dad weeping over his teenage son’s dead body after he got killed during the bombing of a Ukrainian city.

Fighting in Mariupol has continued for over 24 hours as the Russians have been accused of genocide.

Grieving Serhii was pictured crying over his son Iliya’s head in a maternity ward that has been turned into a hospital.

Another photo reveals that Iliya arrived at the hospital with both legs blown off, apparently from a Russian shell.

It comes as hundreds of civilians are believed to have been killed in the attack with devastating photos showing the tragic impact of Putin’s invasion.

Three teenagers believed to be around 15 or 16 years old, were reportedly playing football when they were hit in a Russian shelling.

One lost his leg and died soon after arrival, according to an AP reporter, while the other two were rushed to hospital and remain in intensive care.

A maternity hospital and dozens of residential buildings have been severely damaged, while a school and a migrant shelter were destroyed.

Vadym Boychenko, the mayor of Mariupol, told Ukraine‘s 1+1 TV Channel that Russian troops have also stopped civilians from escaping the port city.

He said: “There’s been colossal destruction of residential infrastructure, there are many wounded and unfortunately many civilian dead, women, children, old people.”

“A full-scale genocide of the Ukrainian people is underway.”

Despite the continuous airstrikes and shelling, the city still remains under Ukrainian control.

It comes as:

• Kyiv remains under siege as Russia continues to advance across the whole of Ukraine
• Kherson became the first city to be captured by Vladimir Putin’s forces amid major bloodshed in Kharkiv, Mariupol and Chernihiv
• Hundreds of hero Ukrainians blocked Putin’s troops as they advanced towards Europe’s biggest power plant
• Russian soldiers were pictured crying and begging to return home after being captured
• Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov – who bankrolled Everton – had his £600million superyacht seized in Germany
• Russian tycoon Mikhail Watford was found hanged in the garage of his home in the UK

President Volodymyr Zelensky praised his own people’s “heroic” resistance and vowed Putin would pay the price for every dead Ukrainian.

He said: “We will rebuild every single house, every single street, every single city.

“And we are telling Russia – learn the words ‘reparations’ and ‘contributions’.

“You will pay back fully to us for what you’ve done against our state, against our every single Ukrainian.”

He also urged the “confused children” to go home – as a number of videos have emerged showing young captured Russian soldiers blubbering for their mums.

It comes after a six-year-old girl was killed in a Russian airstrike in the city.

The little girl wearing unicorn pyjamas was pictured lying fatally wounded as medics desperately tried to revive her.

Sadly the girl could not be saved with an angry doctor telling reporters: “Show this to Putin.”

The child’s devastated mum, covered in blood and holding a pink scarf, was pictured weeping as she waited outside the ambulance.

Horror pictures today have also shown the devastation which has been rained down across Ukraine from Russian airstrikes, artillery shells and missiles.

More than 2,000 civilians are believed to have been killed in the attack while Russian troops managed to capture the key port city of Kherson after six days of fighting.
