Unreal. Knowing there are innocent civilians are there, How can anyone think this is ok?

[andyelizabeth]

Hard to sit in my comfortable home and not feel uncomfortable! My eye's can't hide what my heart feels 💔. So courageous Ukraine 🇺🇦

[wizewizard]

So many good and innocent lives destroyed because of a hand full of evil people.

[IronWarrior]

Mariupol became the new Grozny... and i'm afraid it won't be last one during this Russian invasion. What's more sad is seeing the Chechens turned into murdering minions for the tyranny in Moscow. Much of the killing in this city is carried out by Chechens.

[Mr.Bassman]

Absolutely senseless destruction. My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine.

[eddiek]

It's truly unbelievable,
it's an evil thing to do. Those perpetrators will get their comeuppance one day. Thoughts and prayers to everyone in the Ukraine... 🇺🇦🙏

[goss]

And Putin thinks this will bring glory to Russia?
Disgraceful.

[jamesallen]

Words can not express how I feel after seeing that video.

[billd]

And the sheep say Putrid was forced to do this because he felt threatened...

[Logarius_]

Russians are going to carry this shame for a long time

[Reklawization]

Imagine being a Russian and seeing what your army has done after being lied to constantly by the kremlin with TV propaganda about a special operation...

[ZerGrwth]

It's unforgivable!! Keep fighting Ukraine - bleed the criminals - make them suffer for what they've done. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦♥️🇬🇧

[daeimilangbang]

Longlive Ukraine God bless you always Ukraine Glory to Ukraine 🙏🙏❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦💙💛

[naomisherred]

It's pretty much flattened - my heart aches all the time for humanity 😔😔

[molnarov]

They lost Mariupol but no one can stole their free! Слава Украіні! 🇭🇺🤝🇺🇦

[RobertDeloyd]

Oh my God, what horror and devastation the Russian Army has done inflicting so much pain and misery on the Ukrainian people 😱

[sim]

That's a strange military exercise he's conducting.

[blakelondon]

For a second, I thought this was in black and white or sepia. But then I realized it's full color. They hit nearly everything. Only a few rooftops have a full roof left. The trees and grass are nearly gone. The water next to the beach looks polluted by the war as well.

[mivapusa]

You can tell why they don't have the guts to assault it from the sea. Is there even one intact building left in that hellscape?

[I-am-one]

Ukraine needs to sue Russia for damages
