AP evidence points to 600 dead in Mariupol theater airstrike
apnews.com ^ | May 4, 2022 | LORI HINNANT, MSTYSLAV CHERNOV and VASILISA STEPANENKO

She stood in just her bathrobe in the freezing basement of the Mariupol theater, coated in white plaster dust shaken loose by the explosion. Her husband tugged at her to leave and begged her to cover her eyes.

But she couldn’t help it — Oksana Syomina looked. And to this day, she wishes she hadn’t. Bodies were strewn everywhere, including those of children. By the main exit, a little girl lay still on the floor.

Syomina had to step on the dead to escape the building that had served as the Ukrainian city’s main bomb shelter for more than a week. The wounded screamed, as did those trying to find loved ones. Syomina, her husband and about 30 others ran blindly toward the sea and up the shore for almost five miles (eight kilometers) without stopping, the theater in ruins behind them.

“All the people are still under the rubble, because the rubble is still there — no one dug them up,” Syomina said, weeping at the memory. “This is one big mass grave.”

Another article, from a dubious source, posted by a bona-fide member of the “FreeRepublic Ukraine Agitprop” group!

I find it odd that zero Ukrainian military deaths are reported, only Russian military and Ukrainian civilians have died…

It was “they survived”:

The shelter withstood the bombing:

... Then there were 300 killed:

Now we’re up to 600.

I assume all the news is a lie. This is the recycling of a propaganda story.

It was “they survived”:
You are debunking with a tweet (LoL) that says there were survivors... like this article says there were survivors.

The shelter withstood the bombing:
Again, your Newsweek article says there were survivors just like this article says.

You say your third (very long link not about this specific war crime) link has 300 dead,
So I don't really think you understood your debunking task very well because you have squat.

So then they all survived the irresponsible bombing that could have killed them.

As if that makes a difference about the perps intensions?

I do not see one dead body or even one injured body.

Is the Azov Battalion one of the (alleged) Nazi affiliated groups?
