Just to make it clear - #Russia doesn’t deny the fact that #Mariupol Drama Theatre was blown up, it just says… ‘Azov’ did it, from inside. Right now people are watching on Russian TV stories how random people “witness” how they were “lured by ‘Azov’ and volunteers into the Theatre”, accompanied by random builders who say “the explosion was from inside”.

Well, of course it was from inside because that’s how FAB-500 aerial bombs worked - they ripped through the thin roof and exploded inside. None of the actual survivors confirmed any wrongdoing or even presence of any military personnel in the Theatre - there were exclusively civilians and volunteers there.
