Mayor Vadym Boychenko told The Associated Press by telephone Monday that corpses were “carpeted through the streets of our city” and that the death toll could be more than 20,000.

Boychenko also said Russian forces have brought mobile crematoria to the city to dispose of the bodies and accused Russian forces of refusing to allow humanitarian convoys into the city in an attempt to disguise the carnage.

And just like the USA and the rest of the world while Germany attempted to wipe out world Jewry they sat back and said and did nothing. History is repeating itself.

that represents 3 days of killing of Jews by UKRAINIANS in WWII, in total Ukrainian Jews killed in WW11 totaled 1.5 million and unlike todays refugees they had nowhere to run.

Do not focus on our own dead. We must not lose heart by thinking only of our own losses. Now we need to keep our eye on the ball. The important thing is the number of dead Russians.

Mariupol contains the word mar- bitter and pol-to fall. The I and u in the middle are me and you witnessing this catastrophe. We can’t put the blame on the Russian soldiers because they are following orders, nor on the commanders because they are following orders and nor on Putin because he’s following orders. Chazal say kings and leaders are in the hands of HASHEM so what they end up doing was decreed by HASHEM. One day we will understand it all.
