Women and children thought to be among those hiding at blown-up site
A Kremlin spokesman has said that comments Joe Biden made on Wednesday, in which he accused the Russian president of committing war crimes, were “unacceptable”.
Dmitry Peskov’s condemnation of the US president came moments after Mr Biden told a reporter at the White House that Vladimir Putin was a “war criminal” on account of attacks his troops have made during the invasion of Ukraine. Mr Peskov rebuked the accusations as “unforgivable rhetoric”.
Hours earlier, Sergei Orlov, the deputy mayor of Mariupol, said a theatre where more than 1,000 of the besieged city’s residents – including women and children – had been sheltering was bombed by Russia. While the number of casualties was still not known, Mr Orlov estimated that up to 1,2000 people could have been there when the attack took place.
Russia’s defence ministry has denied responsibility, instead accusing the Azov Battalion, a far-right Ukrainian militia, of blowing up the Donetsk Regional Theatre of Drama. It did not give evidence to back up the claim.
Mafia land’s excuses are as lame as ever in its newest crime in Mariupol.
At any rate, as the world now finally realizes that mafia land is a criminal entity and especially its boss, Vlad, there will be more countries and more companies pulling out and/or stopping its business relations with it. Except, of course, other trash countries.
The US and EU and other free nations should confiscate every penny they can from both the mafia state and mafia oligarchs. Use these funds to help rebuild Ukraine, and the rest can be used as restitution for helping Ukraine’s fight.
Putin is a war criminal. He ordered an aggressive war without provocation. His false flags in the Donbas were the same sort of cover Hitler used before invading Poland.
And the favorite phrase from the Krembots is, “Where’s the evidence?” That’s how they play the propaganda war. Evidence is something used in court. All Peskov could say in response was, “USA bombs killed 100,000s of children all over the world. You see? No evidence, but they expect YOU to provide evidence. All it does is project away from you to the other person, so Peskov blames Azov instead of answering the question.
