LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces pounding the port city of Mariupol shelled a mosque sheltering more than 80 people, including children, the Ukrainian government said Saturday as fighting also raged on the outskirts of the capital, Kyiv.

There was no immediate word of casualties from the shelling of the elegant, city-center mosque. Mariupol has suffered some of the greatest misery from Russia’s war in Ukraine, with unceasing barrages thwarting repeated attempts to bring in food and water, evacuate trapped civilians and to bury all of the dead.

The Ukrainian Embassy in Turkey said 86 Turkish nationals, including 34 children, were among the people who had sought safety in the mosque of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and his wife Roksolana. Opened in 2007 and modeled after a mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, the white-walled mosque and its towering minaret were proudly advertised as a popular scenic draw by city authorities before Mariupol became a target of Russian barrages.

Whether West or east they both have one thing in common a complete disregard for human lives, the same west bombs civilians and mosques without looking back, they encourage others like Israel to the same to the Palestine. Russia did same in Chechnya, in Syria ... It isn't new.

However the important question is do you stand with human values human lives or just the new black slaves following the west and ARABs in their chequered journey of human exploitation?

Are you daft ? They were hiding in the Mosque thinking that the Russian murderers will spare the mosque. Upgrade your IQ.

Truvelisback:
Weren't they aware of the war? Didn't Putin give them time to evacuate their civillians? Why is Zelensky endagering the lives of his innocent civillians? That's the question u should ask urself.

I want to see how the Chechnya region/fighters would respond.

franchasng:
Those ones are confused Muslims. Russia have been destroying them for decades and ever since war broke out, Russia promised them peace and sent them to die as cannon fodders in Ukraine and they had no option

naija4life247:


Muslims matter go kill you oooo, just as it killed those before you.

Meanwhile, Ukraine is trying to provoke the Islamic world against Putin. Muslims are wiser than that.
