Ukrainian Territorial Defense volunteers stand guard on the outskirts of Kyiv during the afternoon on Sunday, March 20th. Just this evening, Russian missiles struck the Retroville Mall in the Podilskyi district of northern Kyiv.
Only hours earlier, Russian forces issued an ultimatum to the Ukrainian defenders of Mariupol to surrender by 5 am local time or face more destruction. The Ukrainian government swiftly rejected the Russian demand to surrender. The city of Mariupol has already faced war crimes and devastation that eerily mirrored Russian actions in cities like Aleppo in Syria.
Ukrainian rescue workers are still working to save hundreds who had been sheltering under a theater in Mariupol, which was bombed earlier this week. Today, a Russian airstrike attacked another civilian target in the city. This time it was an art school which was bombed. Reports claim that dozens of Ukrainian civilians had been seeking shelter in the school as well.
