In a shocking incident, at least 300 people were killed after Russia attacked the Drama Theatre of Mariupol last week.
Ukrainian officials in the strategic port city of Mariupol said Friday some 300 people could have died in last week’s Russian strike on a theatre where hundreds were sheltering.
“From eyewitnesses, information is emerging that about 300 people died in the Drama Theatre of Mariupol following strikes by a Russian aircraft,” Mariupol city hall wrote on Telegram.
Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden and Western allies have guaranteed new sanctions and humanitarian assistance in response to Russia’s assault on Ukraine.
On the other side, Joe Biden will visit a Polish town near the border with Ukraine today, seeking to show Western resolve against Russia’s invasion.
