In eastern Ukraine, many gray areas still surround the conquest of the martyr city of Mariupol. The questions relate in particular to the strikes on the theater of the city, on March 16, which would have killed 300 people.

The theater of Mariupol (Ukraine) was targeted by bombardments, Wednesday, March 16. The first videos of the drama, seen from the inside by the people on the spot, begin to be published. Friday, March 25, a first assessment of the town hall reported 300 dead. It would be the worst attack on civilians since the start of the Russian invasion.

After a month of siege, Russian troops advance around Mariupol. In a video broadcast by the Chechen fighters, the flag bearing the image of their leader is hoisted on top of the district prosecutor’s office. Pro-Russian forces advance street by street, building by building, in a city in ruins. Urban guerrilla scenes take place in the heart of the buildings. The inhabitants have to flee and 100,000 people have still not been able to leave the city. On images provided by Moscow, we see queues that are getting longer. The population comes to collect food.
