Russia attacks theatre sheltering civilians in besieged city of Mariupol - BBC News

Civilians are said to be emerging alive from the ruins of a theatre bombed by Russia in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol.
Despite pictures of devastation at the scene, many who were sheltering there are thought to have survived in a basement that withstood Wednesday's attack.
Mariupol city council said a Russian plane dropped a bomb on the theatre, calling the attack "deliberate and cynical". Russia denied it had targeted the site.

Humans are disgusting, as a Combat Medic who served in war, I remember being disgusted at my species after seeing what we do to each other, mutilating other humans and creatures since it all began. I hope this is the last time I have to come to Earth...I think I learned all I needed to learn here, and conducted myself where I can be proud and my relatives who are passed on will be proud of how I treated others on this blue ball floating in space, I can die with my head held high, with no fear from my maker. I suggest others start living their lives with the understanding that you will be held responsible for your actions while you were visiting this planet. Treat others kindly, help the sick and poor, NEVER EVER intentionally hurt others, NEVER take advantage of others, and ALWAYS apologize and mean it, when you do mess up, and learn from it. Love each other

I remember when the BBC justified things like this and called the innocent massacre of people collateral damage.

We have not been able to independently verify the claims by BBC News

😲 Wow!!! I haven't seen such heinous war crimes like this since Gaza, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Yemen.

a video where a resident of Ukraine himself said that the schools and buildings where people are hiding are mined by Ukrainian troops, they can be said to be held hostage by their own Nazis.

How do you expect the world to believe that Ukraine attacked itself, while your army is literally in the city attacking other locations?

Cost of war is crying
Cost of war is distractions
Cost of war is misery
Cost of war homelessness
Cost of war is hunger
Cost of war is blood flames everywhere
We as humans born to care for others
Born to love each other
But alas who we are n what we are doing

This is not a war...its a crime. May God protect the brave people of Ukraine.

[aliciarosemusic]

Umm...this doesn't make sense anymore. It sounds like random and deliberate mass murder.

[dianejohnston]

Why have no mainstream UK news channels reported on the deaths of British servicemen that happened many days ago?

[Qatar-pxpg]

Wars do not solve problems, but only exacerbate them. We hope that the war will end soon. What is the fault of children, the elderly, women and civilians in general in this?

[grahamjordan]

Perhaps it’s the civilians that have been armed so are now combatants

[allan]

If this war is not stopped quickly, it will have unforeseeable consequences in the future. The war is becoming more and more hell on earth, a nightmare, every day as anger, hatred, evil, and condemnation pile up.

[duethe]

for Christ sake just surrender the damn city an pull back the troops to somewhere else.

[jon-kristoffwilliams]

Oml.... Prayers to the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦🙏

[IvanIvanov-dobry]

It's good that your companies are leaving Russia

[GreenAppelPie]

“We only target military installations”

[joshx]

This is why you do not tell the media where you are during a war!

[Jeffreya]

The country will be rebuild again???
what about those that had lost their lives????

Russia bringing " American freedom " to the Ukraine, ask Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan..
