The Drama of War - russian invaders destroyed Drama Theatre in Mariupol

Russian invaders hit with the bomb the Drama Theater in Mariupol, where the hundreds of peaceful people were hiding.

The worst thing is that they knew they were targeted since Drama Theater in Mariupol was an official place for refugees, who’ve lost their houses because of shelling.

This is one more awful proof that russians are doing the genocide of Ukrainians. In Mariupol russians are not hitting neither the Mariupol port, nor the factories, they are conducting the war against peaceful people, the majority of whom are Russian-speakers. This is the cruel russian revenge for Ukrainians to decide to be independent. They can't win this war with the Ukrainian military, so they are hitting more and more civilians...

This won't be forgotten...

Quote from the City Council: "‘Ruscist’ troops deliberately and cynically destroyed the Drama Theatre in the heart of Mariupol. A plane dropped a bomb on a building where hundreds of peaceful Mariupol residents were hiding. It is not yet possible to estimate the scale of this horrific and inhumane act because the residential areas of the city are still being shelled.

The shelling destroyed the central part of the Drama Theater, and rubble blocked the entrance to the bomb shelter located in the building."

Quote from Azov: "According to eyewitnesses, the Russian occupation forces dropped a heavy bomb on the Mariupol Drama Theater.

The Drama Theatre, the city's cultural centre, was a designated refugee centre for those who have lost their homes and means of subsistence. The Russians had to know this as it was an officially designated place.

Almost a thousand civilians from Mariupol were hiding in the theatre. The number of dead and wounded is currently unknown. Many Mariupol residents were there with small children.

This theatre was a shelter in which the inhabitants of besieged Mariupol escaped from continuous shelling."

Taruta's quote: "We don’t know how many people are trapped under the rubble. There are heavy battles happening now. No one can reach the rubble; we don't know if anyone survived. And the worst thing is that we can't get them out from under the rubble. Many Mariupol residents hid in the theatre with small children! The bomb shelter in the theatre is also blocked by the rubble, there are also people there, including children!"

Details: At the time of the explosion, Russian mass media was spreading false information that the Drama Theatre was a "headquarters of Ukrainian militants."
