The BBC has verified a satellite image of the Donetsk Drama Theater in the center of Mariupol following a Russian airstrike. Russia denies hitting the theater and claims 'it was blown up'. 😶
This statement reminds me of another one from another 'special operation', by a certain V. Putin, PM of Russia, in Oct 1999 in Helsinki - when asked about the shelling of the market in Grozny with missiles (it killed 110+ people instantly and maimed hundreds of others) he said:
"There has been talk of missile attacks against civilian targets, that is not true, I can confirm there was some sort of explosion in Grozny in the market, but I want to draw the attention of the press that it's not a market in the conventional sense, but an arms market." (Cont.)
"That is what they call this place in Grozny. We do not rule out that the explosion that took place was the result of confrontations between rival groups" said PM Putin.

It was missiles, shot by the Russian army at civilian targets.

Russia has urged Ukrainians defending the besieged port of Mariupol to surrender, promising them safe passage out of the city if they lay down their arms. The defence ministry in Moscow
admitted that a terrible humanitarian catastrophe was unfolding in Mariupol, which has endured weeks of Russian bombardment. It said it would open humanitarian corridors on Monday -- first for fighters, then for civilians. Russia says it wants a response from the Ukrainian
government by 0500 Moscow time. An advisor to the mayor of Mariupol, Pyotr Andryushenko, told the BBC Russia's humanitarian promises could not be trusted -- and said the defenders would fight on to the last soldier. Previous arrangements to evacuate civilians from Mariupol

Ukraine news 🧵on @bbcworldservice at 0900 AM GMT on 20.03 - listen live: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li…

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has described Russia's siege of the port of Mariupol as a "terror that will be remembered for centuries to come". In one of the
latest attacks, the city authorities say Russia has bombed a school where around four hundred people were sheltering. There's no word yet on casualties. Earlier, the mayor of Mariupol, Vadym Boychenko, said thousands of residents had been taken by force to Russia. This can't
be independently verified. Around 300 000 people remained trapped in the city, which has been largely destroyed by Russian bombardment. People who've managed to escape have described horrendous conditions -- with bodies lying unburied and food running out as fighting rages

for control of the city. Vadym Boychenko said some had been sent to remote Russian cities, and the fate of others was unknown. On Friday Russia's defence ministry said nearly eight thousand Ukrainians had expressed their desire to escape to Russia. Around 300 000 civilians
are trapped inside Mariupol, a city largely destroyed by Russian bombardment. People who've managed to escape have described horrendous conditions -- bodies are lying unburied and food is running out. Fighting has hampered efforts

Ukraine news 🧵at 0730 AM GMT on @bbcworldservice - listen live bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li…

Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has called for comprehensive peace talks with Russia. In a video address published online in the early hours of Saturday, he said the time had come
for a meeting to end the war - otherwise, he said, Russia would need generations to recover from its losses. The two sides have been holding lower level negotiations remotely, but the talks have yielded little progress, with Russia and Ukraine blaming the other. Analysts say
that three weeks into the conflict, Russia's offensive remains largely stalled, with its troops about thirty kilometres from the capital Kyiv and continuing to face heavy resistance.

At least 45 people have reportedly been killed in a Russian missile attack on a Ukrainian army barracks in the strategic southern city of Mykolaiv. Western reporters in the area
say the Ukrainians are continuing to defend the city, with Russian forces grouped outside, to the northeast. Mykolaiv, which is crucial to Russia's plans to take Ukraine's third city, Odessa, has been holding back a Russian offensive along the Black Sea coast. The port city
has experienced weeks of intense bombardments, after Russian troops were pushed back. They then tried to bypass Mykolaiv but were again thwarted by the Ukrainians. Friday saw continued shelling of major cities, incl Kyiv, Kharkiv and the airport just outside Lviv.

There have been a series of explosions in western Ukraine near to the city of Lviv. Video published by a local TV station showed a large plume of smoke coming from the area
of the international airport, six kilometres from the city centre. The mayor has said that a nearby aircraft maintenance facility was hit rather than the airport itself. Reports suggest cruise missiles were fired from a Russian bomber aircraft - three explosions were heard.
Lviv is just 70 km from the Polish border, well away from the main battle zones in the east and south. The area has been relatively quiet, apart from five days ago, when there was a similar attack on a military training facility at Yavoriv, 30 km from Lviv.
