As many as 9,000 Ukraine civilians could have been executed by Russian forces and buried in mass graves outside Mariupol, according to local leaders.
Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko revealed the grim development Thursday and called the site of the atrocities in the nearby village of Manhush “the new Babi Yar,” a reference to the Ukrainian Holocaust site where tens of thousands of Jews were killed in World War II.
“Then Hitler killed Jews, Roma and Slavs. And now Putin is destroying Ukrainians. He has already killed tens of thousands of civilians in Mariupol,”
....Meanwhile, Russia continued to shell humanitarian corridors in Mariupol Thursday, violating its cease-fire agreement and preventing residents from evacuating the strategically pivotal southern port city, according to officials.

Regarding Mariupol, I haven’t seen a single interviewed person who said otherwise. They all blame “their” military for their troubles and want the Russians to win.
Ethnicity is not race or genetics. Thise play a minor role.
What creates an ethnicity is a combination of culture, religion, language and history. And those 4 interact with each other.
Take the Punjabis. Genetically speaking the Pakistani Muslim Punjabis, the Indian Sikh Punjabis in Punjhand the Indian Hindu Jat Punjabis in Haryana are the same people.
And, until the 12th century they were the same. But they diverged under religious and then historic conditions and now the languages are diverging.
Or between a person from Limburg, another from Hamburg and another from Brandenburg. Racially similar, but history and religion determined a change in culture and thereby ethnicity.
Because that is a hallmark of Russian attacks on civilian areas. You saw it in Central Europe in the 1944 to 1945 period, in Afghanistan, in Chechnya.
The Russian army is badly trained and the soldiers are treated badly. So they take it out on civilians
What are you talking about? When you ask about the other side, do you mean the Ukraine side or the Russian side?
And why would you even ask that? Don’t you know that both sides are lying?
There is no video or witness testimony of Ukrainians shelling and shooting their own citizens.
Nope. The war is winding down.
Putin gets his “win” in the Donbas and declares mission accomplished on may 9th.
No NATO involvement in this year.
Would you point at the example of Russian lies.
If that info is being released, I am not seeing it on Fox News or any of the Business News channels, which I have on low volume all day right behind my desk chair.
Irrational? how old are you 12?- how many of those years has Russia been our enemy? Oh and the Russians they just love us Americans after over 85 years of propganda, and then jealousy seeing the squalor they've been living in. They think we Americans are just swell, I'm sure these shining examples of humanity just hate our crappy leaders and love us common folk - are you stupid? High? both?
Russians are like Democrats they destroy everything they touch.
Remember when Yuri Andropov was running around the mideast dropping off as many copies of the Elders of Zion as possible and funding the precursors of Al Quida. Pepperidge farm remembers.
Remember Putin killing that British reporter - I do .
Remember when Putin turned the president of Georgias face into something that looked like a gray version of the fantastic 4's Thing?
Remember Russia supplying Irans nuclear program - probably not.
Remember the Soviet Union Its a Ham and handed retarded culture and all it has left is this epileptic seizure of an invasion.
Russias gonna lose - its what losers do.
Although its tough to find something lower, skankier, more pathetic than a Russian - the Putin apologists manage some to pull it off.
Calling Russians what they are - scum and a blight upon an already sick world
Oh I think Putin will withdraw his forces to the Donbas, but I expect the war itself to continue regardless. We shall see.
I knew it. You haven’t been paying attention at all. Do you really think I have the time or the inclination to go into even the most fundamental amount of lies from Russia? Or Ukraine either for that matter?
Bring some examples.
Do your own homework.
Okay, thank you:)
I don’t agree with the anti Russian sentiment in your post. I oppose their regime’s actions in Ukraine, but I don’t hate the Russian people
It’s a cold war mentality that Putin has played on yo make this war an us vs them, rather than the preening to Putin’s ego that it is.
There is a difference between the government and the people. We would not want yo be judged as just Obama and Biden subjects, right?
In pure numbers, no.
However there is pretty adequate proof that a brutalized, badly treated and badly trained rabble of a Russian army has committed atrocities. It may not be the level reported, but it exists.
The Ukrainians are no Angel’s, but they didn’t have the opportunity
