The brutal assault on the city of Mariupol in Ukraine will be remembered for "centuries to come," President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Sunday.
"The besieged Mariupol will go down in history of responsibility for war crimes. The terror the occupiers did to the peaceful city will be remembered for centuries to come," Zelenskyy said in a video address on Telegram.
Mariupol, located in southeast Ukraine, has been the subject of a brutal assault that has laid waste to the city's homes, schools, and maternity hospitals. Some residents have been sheltering for weeks, and many are without food, water, or electricity.
Last week, Russian forces bombed a movie theater in the city where over 1,000 civilians were sheltering. On Friday, authorities reported that 130 people had been rescued from the theater while 1,300 were still trapped. The number of casualties is unknown.
Multiple attempts at humanitarian corridors and ceasefires have failed, despite being agreed upon with the Russians.
"The more Ukrainians will tell the world about it, the more support we find. The more Russia uses terror against Ukraine, the worse the consequences will be for it," Zelenskyy said on Sunday.

Ukraine has embedded weapons and fighters among the civilian population.
Granny with an AK is a combatant. A building holding RPGs and Javelins is an ammo dump.
Telegraphing a False Flag operation? Chemical type?
Give it a rest ya CIA plant. Best he can do is bail out like the CIA president in Afghanistan...he’ll be assassinated or do comedy talk shows.
We need more Nazis there to fight.
Time will tell, I suppose. As for remembered for centuries — doubtful. Especially if it is only the first city destroyed in WWIII.
Nope. Still doesn’t make me want to join Team Globohomo.
.
The war crimes of his military in Mariupol are getting uncovered. From secret Nazi prisons used to torture dissidents, to taking the population hostage and shooting everyone who tried to escape and using kindergartens for firing positions. He is launching counter-narrative to deflect.
Translation: Mariupol is about to fall.
Whoever wins the war in the long run will write the history.
Short term, Mariupol will go down fighting, it appears. What Pooty will do with a destroyed city and (I’m guessing) at least 200k prisoner-refugees I don’t know. Partisan type attacks will probably go on for some time.
Reading into the Russians’ demand, it doesn’t sound like they have supplies to feed and water the city population.
The war crimes in Mariupol are being committed by Azov. Dozens of videos surfaced yesterday testifying to this. They’re torturing civilians, holding them hostage in their homes, and shooting ones they catch fleeing.
“The war crimes in Mariupol are being committed by Azov.”
There sure are a lot of those Azov people. It thought they were all in Donblas? How did they get all the way to Mariupol?
And when did Azov invade Russia?

“ Granny with an AK is a combatant. A building holding RPGs and Javelins is an ammo dump”
But everything else is not. Indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas remains a war crime, and Russian policy.
Bull Shite
President of El Salvador may be onto something here
Trust but verify.
Everything.
Yet 90% of Mariupol refugees are fleeing to Russia. What’s that tell you.
Or, you could surrender, with a safe corridor for civillians, like Russia offered.
Nope.
Wow, I bet those 8oo+ people trapped in the bombed theater are getting a bit anxious to be rescued. I hope there’s entertainment.
Pardon me, I’m just having a hard time with this story of hundreds being trapped for days.
