Zelenskyy says 'Mariupol will go down in history' as an example of war crimes that will be remembered 'for centuries to come'

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.

This morning the Ukraine’s are claiming that when I try to get in to rescue those people Russian snipers kill the first responders with rifle fire. Seems to me the Ukraine’s and had plenty of time to ferret out snipers from the surrounding area.

Truth is the first casualty of war. Trust but verify.

“The war crimes in Mariupol are being committed by Azov.”

That is correct.

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?

About 26,000 Azov Nazis, funded and armed by our CIA, Democrats, and RINOs. The Azovs are surrounded in Mariupol, and a few other cities and small towns in the Donbas.

If the Russians were unconcerned about civilian casualties, the Azov terrorists would have been wiped out two weeks ago.

It is Azov committing the war crimes, shooting escaping civilians, torturing civilians, tying teenage boys and girls to trees and poles, and leaving them half naked in the freezing cold. They are using these teens as shields, to keep the Russians from getting close enough to pick off the Azov snipers.

I don’t believe a single word of this.

Not one.

Lurker, I know you and the others here are not stupid.

Years ago, you guys were able to assess information from various sources, and make some reasonable determinations from the variety of information.

I don't see that happening here now.

I have. My conclusion is that they’re all liars.

One thing is for sure. Russia illegally invaded a sovereign country. Nazis, no Nazis, some Nazis, it doesn’t matter. There was NO legal justification for sending 75,000 men, tanks, artillery, and warplanes into Ukraine.

None.

Prosecute those war crimes ALONG with the war crimes of sheltering combatants and heavy equipment amongst civilians.

Testimony of Mariupol residents: Azov Batallion executed civilians trying to escape the city.

More witnesses from Mariupol saying that Azov Batallion executed civilians trying to find a way out of the city.

Another testimony of the massacres and criminal behaviour of Azov Batallion in Mariupol.

More witnesses of Azov crimes. Azov Batallion nazis shelled civilian buildings.

Azov Batallion fighters keep civilians hostages in a house.

I can do this all day long.

They weren't suspended yesterday. Can't show the truth on Twitter. What else is new?
