Hundreds of Ukrainians have likely been killed in a nonstop Russian attack in Mariupol that has already lasted more than 15 hours, officials said Wednesday.

The southeastern port city is already suffering mass casualties as Russia continued its shelling onslaught on residential areas, Mayor Vadym Boichenko revealed in a live Ukrainian TV broadcast.

Authorities haven’t been able to go in and retrieve any bodies, but deputy mayor Sergiy Orlov told BBC News that hundreds were feared dead after an entire district of the city was “nearly totally destroyed.”

Orlov’s father is among those who live in the area that is under heavy attack.

“The situation is awful, we are near to a humanitarian catastrophe. We have been under more than 15 hours of continuous shelling without pause,” the distraught official told the outlet.

This is war crime stuff. Hopefully soon saner heads at the Kremlin will put down their rabid dog.

If the Russians go killing everyone, there won’t be any kids left to rape.

Give me a break. Like the United States never attacked a city or a town. War is hell.

Hopefully some of Putin’s senior military officers will say “enough is enough” and off that mongoloid POS.

The entire operation of the scale of Vietnam is yet to inflict the 1/10 of the collateral damage the USAF bombing of the city of Raqqa, Syria inflicted.

You are probably part of the crowd that complains that the invasion is failing and Russian troops are stalled.

The propaganda is getting a bit obvious.

Am I understanding that this was an attack purely on civilians? Was this some navy base at all?

It must be hard defending ISIS and then comparing them to civilian Ukrainians . . .

But here you are.

-Very poor argument.

I knew I would see a post from a Putin apologist within the first 5 posts. I was correct.

Ukraine has a few SS-21 missiles and Moscow is at the extreme edge of their range.

I say take the shot!
