An initial analysis of damage in Mariupol shows widespread attacks across residential areas
Analysis of satellite images for a section of Mariupol found evidence of widespread damage across residential neighborhoods. At least 391 buildings in the study area were observed to have been damaged or destroyed in a part of the city that is dotted with schools and health facilities.



The analysis, by Unitar-Unosat, a United Nations research group, examined structures within a section of the eastern district of Livoberezhnyi. The group compared a satellite image captured on March 14 this year with imagery from June 2021.

Damaged structures included seven schools and four health facilities, according to the report. Livoberezhnyi, meaning “Left Bank,” is one of the city’s four administrative districts and is home to about 120,000 residents.

Russian forces have laid siege to Mariupol for nearly three weeks. Incessant shelling has blocked efforts to evacuate people and send aid, leaving the nearly half a million residents trapped with dwindling supplies of food, water and medicine.

2. When I hear of Russians sending Ukrainians to Russia

and I read about the atrocities part of me wants NATO to step in and get this done and over with on a quick schedule compared to a long, drawn out war costing even more civilian lives. Putin is Hell bent on murdering as many innocents as he possibly can and he will not stop, Putin will never stop. What is happening to those that are being forced to relocate in Russia? Will they be in internment camps?
