LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces pounding the port city of Mariupol shelled a mosque sheltering more than 80 people, including children, the Ukrainian government said Saturday as fighting also raged on the outskirts of the capital, Kyiv.
There was no immediate word of casualties from the shelling of the elegant, city-center mosque. Mariupol has suffered some of the greatest misery from Russia’s war in Ukraine, with unceasing barrages thwarting repeated attempts to bring in food and water, evacuate trapped civilians and to bury all of the dead.
The Ukrainian Embassy in Turkey said 86 Turkish nationals, including 34 children, were among the people who had sought safety in the mosque of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and his wife Roksolana. Opened in 2007 and modeled after a mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, the white-walled mosque and its towering minaret were proudly advertised as a popular scenic draw by city authorities before Mariupol became a target of Russian barrages.

Prolly soldiers and their human shields
That’s likely the difference between Russia and Israel. Russia doesn’t have to answer to us, so if a mosque is used as an attack base, then it’s fair game for ‘pacification’, whereas Israel just has to put up with being attacked from the mosque (or hospital).
“Ukrainian soldiers are painting their own wrecked military equipment with the letters Z and pass them off as a trophy they take photos of themselves in front of.”
What really gave it away for me was that one tree-lined street loaded up with ‘Russian wreckage’, but not a burn mark on any tree. And then, looking closely at the hardware that was supposedly ‘destroyed’ in the prior few days, they were loaded with rust. LOL!!!!
I think Zelensky has got to find a better Director.
Stop telling the truth. Freepers don’t want to hear that chit. 😉
Home base of the neo-Nazi Azov fighters. Hopefully, all of them will be exterminated.
I know - lots more I could reveal but won’t.
Wonder how the Chechens fighting for Russia there must feel.
Mariupol has been a bees nest of these Azor fighters - citizens had submitted to Azors control in their community - many willingly others not.
