Russia continues its military invasion of Ukraine, launched by order of Vladimir Putin on February 24. The Russian authorities call it a «special military operation» to protect people «from genocide.» All these days, Russia has been shelling not only military installations but also residential areas in Ukraine. Reportedly, there's not a single building left in bombed-out Mariupol that has not been damaged. At the same time, the Russian side continues to claim it is destroying only military infrastructure.
