Zelenskyy warns of unconfirmed chemical weapon attack in Mariupol | USA TODAY

Reports of chemical weapon use in Mariupol are unconfirmed. More than 10,000 have been killed in Mariupol since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began.

More than 10,000 civilians have been killed in the besieged city of Mariupol since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February, the mayor said, as Western nations warned a convoy was on the move for a suspected Russian assault in Ukraine’s east. The city is crucial to Russia's effort to link Crimea with the Donbas region, where Moscow-backed separatists have established de facto republics that even Russia only recognized days before the war broke out in February.

Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko told The Associated Press that Russian forces have blocked weeks of attempted humanitarian convoys into the city in part to conceal the carnage. Boychenko also said the death toll in Mariupol alone could surpass 20,000.

[johnhepbean]

Somebody needs to tell him, the chemical and biological facilities were found in Ukraine.

[raziele]

If it's unconfirmed, then why report on it like it's solid information?

[pretentiousprogressive]

The tactics are so predictable and laughable.

[ernestavocado]

Give it a rest Zelensky. You'll receive your Oscar in the mail.

[whatsgoodmyguy]

[mlo]

Just send in the Ghost he will take care of everything single handed.

[mikemayhem]

This whole thing is honestly becoming like a movie

[robdixson]

Warns of unconfirmed? Warn is future tense, uncomfirmed is past tense. This is completely meaningless word salad. Could we get a headline writer at USA TODAY that understands how language works? Is that too much to ask?

[timmytwaddles]

Now tell us who REALLY did the chemical weapons attacks.

[georgesykes]

If it's Unconfirmed it's 1 of 2 things! It's a Lie or didn't happen!

[Ydokthegreat]

If these are unconfirmed, maybe go confirm before you report. Isn't that the problem with the news today is that it's all about being first instead of accurate? Definition of MISINFORMATION.

[Protect_all_ljfforms]

And here we are “weapons of mass destruction 2.0”

[breaks_n_stuff]

Crazy... There was reports the Azov battalion laid down mines at a water plant and blew them up... Huh. Also the area is friendly to Russia... Isn't that weird ??

[avgjayevryday]

Who takes the MSM news seriously anymore?
