Putin's Russia has Killed Mariupol City


New satellite images & video footage, show Russia's destroyed the city of Mariupol: Tragically, over recent years we've all seen the haunting images of Russia's barbaric, Nazi like horror inflicted on cities like Aleppo in Syria & Grozny in Chechnya. Whole cities laid waste by Russia's inhuman and relentless bombing. Now that same deliberate targeting of civilians, homes, hospitals, kindergartens, schools, shelters and public buildings, is happening in Europe. After weeks of shelling, this is what the Ukrainian city of #Mariupol looks like today.

The city is on #Ukraine's south Azov Sea coast. To create a land border to Crimea and free up Russian troops fighting there, Russia's desperate to capture Mariupol. And remember, Russia's cowardly dictator laughably claimed this all about rescuing the Ukrainian people from Nazi's. But, as any sane person knows, this was never about Russia rescuing anyone. This is about Putin wanting to conquer & destroy a prosperous and democratic Ukraine. Pathetic Putin fears democracy on his doorstep. Fears free speech. #RussiaInvadedUkraine


At the end of the video is shown a church left in tact. I would guess this was ordered by Putin so he can turn church property over to the Russian Orthodox Church, run by another KGB alum who is buddies with Putin and of which Ukraine's Orthodox Church split away. I am convinced this is a war to genocide the Ukrainian nation. I pray we can stop it.

And I'm sure that's exactly what Putin intended.

What he expects to gain from that, I couldn't begin to speculate.
