About 300 people are believed to have died in a Russian attack on a theater in Mariupol nine days ago, the city council has said, citing eyewitness reports. The March 16 bombing of Mariupol's Drama Theater, where Ukrainian officials say up to 1,300 had sought refuge, was among the most brazen of Russia's attacks on civilians since its invasion began in late February. Painted on the ground outside the building -- in giant Russian letters -- was the word "CHILDREN." The message -- large enough to be viewed from the sky -- was scrawled near a public square. Russia has denied its forces hit the theater. Announcing the update on its Telegram channel, the city council said: "Unfortunately, we start the day with bad news. There is information, based on eyewitnesses, that about 300 people died in the Drama Theater in Mariupol as a result of a bombing by Russian aircraft. "We still do not want to believe in this horror. We still want to believe that everyone managed to escape. But the words of those who were inside the building at the time of this terrorist act say otherwise."
Interesting considering I have not seen any photos of said victims or their rescue, only "eyewitness testimonies", despite Ukraine eagerly using previous instances to fuel their propaganda war.
strawman but okMaybe you should go to Ukraine yourself and verify war crimes to your satisfaction..
strawman but ok
Who started the propaganda war by telling you that Ukraine was led by Nazis? Oh yes, Putin, the chap who prefers killing and incarcerating his political opposition. I think you'll find you're not welcome here.Interesting considering I have not seen any photos of said victims or their rescue, only "eyewitness testimonies", despite Ukraine eagerly using previous instances to fuel their propaganda war.
No, I am questioning the validity of the entire situationYou wanted verification. I suggested a simple solution.
Still doesn't refute my point.Who started the propaganda war by telling you that Ukraine was led by Nazis? Oh yes, Putin, the chap who prefers killing and incarcerating his political opposition. I think you'll find you're not welcome here.
No, I am questioning the validity of the entire situation
No, I dont think I willI don't think anyone in the world cares about your questioning.
Take yourself to Ukraine and answer your questions yourself.
Horrible. Absolutely horrible.Mariupol theater bombing: 300 killed in Russian strike, says Ukrainian authorities
A Kremlin war crime. The theater contained women and children taking shelter from Russian bombs.
No, I dont think I will
That has nothing to do with whether the bombing happened or not. And I dont need to "verify" because I've already seen evidence that its false and that Azov are just being crybabies because their city is getting shit on.Didn't think so. All talk and no walk.

It's all just a false flag.From the bits and pieces I have seen on tweeter the Mayor of Mariupol is not even in the city anymore. And the remaining Azov direhards are probably heavy bombardments themselves to be out conducting excavations. So I am not sure who is the authority putting out the information

Its neither of the above, but apparently no evidence or reasoning is able to penetrate your bubble.QAnon is not a valid source. Nor is China's People's Daily, nor Russia's TASS.
It's all just a false flag.
There was literally a Telegram post on March 12th that detailed from sources on the ground that there would be a false flag attack on the theater and that civilians were being evacuated from it anyways, days before the alleged "bombing". That's why there hasn't been any "victim photos" for the propaganda effort.Was bombing of Mariupol theater staged by Ukrainian Azov extremists to trigger NATO intervention? - The Grayzone
Testimony by evacuated Mariupol residents and warnings of a false flag attack undermine the Ukrainian government's claims about a Russian bombing of a local theater sheltering civilians. Western media have reported that Russia's military deliberately attacked the Donetsk Academic Regional Drama...thegrayzone.com

As they say with wars, the truth is the first casualty.
I have an open mind on the alleged bombing of this theatre. It could be the result of a Russian strike or it could be the Asov Nazis using their own destruction of it as a false flag.
We have already had the mosque incident and the use of footage from other conflicts thrown into the mix.
What we see here though is the rush to believe anything and everything that comes from the Ukrainian side from the usual suspects and the populists. They are wholly predictable on this and you won't get anywhere challenging their need to believe
Plus, it is a given that when you turn a city into a fortress things like that are guaranteed to happen. But I get impression that tragedy is for some timely and fodder for effective propaganda. There are those genuinely shocked by the tragedy, and those shedding crocodile tears in the media while gleefully playing clips over and over

We can go back through these false flag psyops type events. The Iraqis dumping new borns out of incubators in Kuwait, the famous hauling down of the Saddam Hussien statue, Jessica Lynch etc etc.
Yep, those pushing for war for years here regarding Russia/Ukraine are now somehow horrified that innocent people are being killed in it? I don't buy it. Sick imo
