Russia - Ukraine War News Updates -- March 2, 2022

 

Daily Mail: 'Full-scale genocide' unfolds in Mariupol where mayor says '15 hours of shelling' has left 'hundreds dead': Putin steps up attacks on cities as terrifying video captures Ukrainian cheating death when missile slams into tower block 

* Russia has renewed its attack on Ukraine today, with military saying that fighting is underway 'on all fronts' 

* Mariupol, in the south, has been under bombardment non-stop for 15 hours with 'hundreds' dead, official said 

* Kharkiv, Ukraine's second city, has come under renewed bombing as video captures building being blown up 

* Kherson, also in the south, had been overrun by Putin's forces which also surrounded a nuclear power plant at Zaporizhzhia amid reports they had opened fire on civilian guards 

Russia has today stepped up its attacks on Ukraine's major cities as officials in Mariupol said a 'full-scale genocide' was underway as Putin's men unleashed a 15-hour artillery barrage while Kharkiv also came under heavy bombardment in a dark sign of what could be to come in the capital Kyiv. 

Mariupol, located in the south of Ukraine on the Black Sea, has been surrounded by Russian forces and struck by artillery in an apparent attempt to bomb the city into submission as Putin's men resort to 'medieval' tactics. 

Sergiy Orlov, the deputy mayor, said entire districts had been levelled with such heavy barrages that medics cannot get in to retrieve the dead.
