Russian forces continued their relentless shelling of the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, striking a mosque-turned-shelter as world leaders continued to try and pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to end his vengeful war
.
The Mariupol attacks coincided with the arrest of the city of Melitopol’s mayor—prompting hundreds to protest in the streets for his release—and bombings on the outskirts of Kyiv. The demonstrations were encouraged by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who urged those in Moscow to heed their calls.
Zelensky also acknowledged the war’s cost to Ukrainian forces. He said Saturday that 1,300 Ukrainian soldiers had died since the war began, while the U.N. human rights office reported that nearly 500 civilians had been killed. Still, Zelensky said his resolve hadn’t wavered, and if Russian forces wanted to capture the capital city of Kyiv, they would need to carpet bomb the city—with everyone in it. “If that is their goal, let them come,” he challenged.
