Russian invaders attacked the Drama Theater in Mariupol (Donetsk Oblast), which was used as a bomb shelter for hundreds of civilians. The number of casualties is currently unknown
On the ground near the Mariupol Drama Theater, which was bombed by the Russian occupiers yesterday, "CHILDREN" was written in huge Russian letters, clearly visible from above, according to Reuters, which published satellite images of Maxar Technologies
In Mariupol, rescuers have begun to release civilians from the rubble of the Drama Theater. The building withstood the impact of a heavy aircraft bomb and protected the lives of people hiding in the bomb shelter. Today, living adults and children come outside
UPD: "So far, 130 people have been evacuated from the Mariupol Drama Theater destroyed by the occupiers, but 1,300 people are still in the basements" — the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Lyudmila Denisova

Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kuvshynova and Fox News cameraman were killed by Russian artillery while reporting in Horenka (Kyiv Oblast). Fox News reporter Benjamin Hall was injured and has been hospitalized
Oleksandra Kuvshynova is our friend. She was a beautiful human being, a professional producer and journalist (she was cooperating with world-known media such as VICE, Fox News, etc), a promising photographer, and a dedicated volunteer with a big heart
Oleksandra Kuvshynova was only 24. She was a co-founder of FUSION (jam sessions parties) and KRAЙ (environmental art festival), worked for 100% Life (the largest patient-led organization in Ukraine), and many other cultural and health care organizations
During these dark times, we still want to celebrate great artists and powerful voices of Ukraine that contribute to the artistic legacy of the whole world
Today, on March 9, the Shevchenko National Prize Committee announced the winners. Shevchenko National Prize is the highest state prize of Ukraine for works of culture and arts awarded since 1961

❗️As a result of the hostile actions of the occupiers, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was completely de-energized. Fighting is currently underway, making it impossible to repair and restore power. The city of Slavutych is also de-energized
All nuclear facilities in Chernobyl have been left without electricity. About 20,000 wasted fuel assemblies are stored in the spent nuclear fuel storage facility. They need constant cooling, which is impossible without electricity
If they are not cooled down constantly, the temperature in the storage pools will rise, resulting in evaporating and release of radioactive substances into the environment. The wind can transfer a radioactive cloud to other regions of Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, and Europe
The International Judo Federation removed Putin and his close friend and oligargh Arkady Rotenberg from all positions held in the IJD
This is a rather symbolic decision. However, the international sports community already does a lot to stand with Ukraine.
These are organizations that sanction Russia: FIFA and UEFA, International Olympic and Paralympic Committees, Fédération Internationale de Volleyball,..

Civilian Ukrainians massively steal military equipment out from under the Russian Forces. When we don't have enough help from NATO, we just take what we need from the invaders
Our farmers are definitely braver than the Russian military, which shells residential areas at a distance
That wasn’t the only case — it’s a strand among farmers
Kherson under Russian occupation: citizens come to the city center to show the invaders that they are not welcome in Ukrainian cities
In Kherson, citizens drove Russian military equipment out of the city center.
A policeman with a Ukrainian flag jumped on the APC of the invaders
Earlier, the occupiers in Kherson opened a warning fire and demanded that citizens leave the streets, but the Ukrainians told them to go fuck themselves
