The attack on the hospital complex in Mariupol drew widespread condemnation from advocates for refugees and humanitarian aid.

Vice President Kamala Harris said Thursday Russia was committing “atrocities of unimaginable proportions” and said the United Nations has a process to review and to investigate such attacks. At a news conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda, the vice president added that “the eyes of the world are on this war and what Russia has done in terms of this aggression and these atrocities.”

  1. Why does the US media not show Ukrainian military assets placed in close proximity to schools and hospitals? Those photos and videos can be found only from independent journalists.

    1. @Chris Schelstraete So when Israel bombs Palestinian homes, and hospitals, and they say Khamas is hiding there that’s a lie? Well, I’ll be damned

    2. @beate zackey they are a small fraction of the entire military, to say they “took over Ukraine” is a lie and that still doesn’t justify imperialist Russia’s illegal invasion.

    3. Let’s not fool ourselves, we all know the cause of all evil and bloodshed in the world is American government.

    1. Americans are against Russia invasion on Ukraine but celebrate Thanksgiving every year with a big o smile on their face. Like a massacred didn’t happen in America soil and stealing other ppl land.

    2. @GsonTechIf that’s your position than no country anywhere should celebrate any holiday ever as they all have historical blood on their hands. Inane whataboutisms don’t justify what Russia is doing no matter how hard you pretend they do.

    3. @Un Known Your right, it’s wrong what Russia is doing. But it’s very hypocritical to say that to Russia when countries has been doing that for age. Cough America in the middle east Cough.

      Or let’s talk about the West/NATO expansion. That the main reason why Putin invading. If Ukraine join NATO, than NATO surround Russia. If Russia take over Ukraine, NATO still surround Russia. When the enemy is at your footstep and you tell them to back off but they don’t listen, than this is the result. Why is NATO want to surround Russia. Let’s not pretend why.

  2. This is why you don’t station troops and weapons in hospitals in an attempt to outwit your enemy in war.

    Remember the US drone strikes that hit hospitals years ago? T’was for same reason.

    1. Let’s not fool ourselves, we all know the cause of all evil and bloodshed in the world is American government.

    2. Thats kind of a dumb statement considering defending hospitals and civilian centers makes sense and shelling them doesn’t.

      Also, remember when the organization that Putin came from was stacking bodies in Afghanistan before America ever started the war on terror?

    3. @Rockhound careful what you hear about. A lot of propaganda floating around, more so than truth, so assume there is a very strong likelihood of fake news.

  3. It is a sad day when we let 1country go and destroy another for no apparent reason ! What the hell is wrong with man ?

    1. War has been here long before you were alive and will be long after you are dead….. just thank God it hasn’t found you yet

    1. Lyrics
      Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream
      Song by Simon & Garfunkel

      Last night I had the strangest dream
      I ever dreamed before
      I dreamed the world had all agreed
      To put an end to war
      I dreamed I saw a mighty room
      The room was filled with men
      And the paper they were signing said
      They’d never fight again
      And when the papers all were signed
      And a million copies made
      They all joined hands and bowed their heads
      And grateful prayers were prayed
      And the people in the streets below
      Were dancing round and round
      And guns and swords and uniforms
      Were scattered on the ground
      Last night I had the strangest dream
      I ever dreamed before
      I dreamed the world had all agreed
      To put an end to war

  4. funny to hear the US condemn this when they’ve bombed so many civilians and even hospitals in the middle east, a fight its people did not want on their soil. It seems it’s only this terrible when the other side does it…

  5. Where is the blood??? He was wrapping her head… for what??? People don’t let them show y’all fake videos.

  6. He should have kept solders out of the building man. He’s causing casualties on purpose to get us to go over there.

  7. Last night I had a dream where a toddler was falling off a cliff and a lot of people watched him fall including myself but there was nothing we could do about it I woke up with my heart pounding!
