"Each Russian murderer must be held accountable": Zelenskyy on anniversary of Mariupol drama theater bombing

The president of Ukraine recalled the tragedy that took place in Mariupol: two years ago, invading Russian troops attacked the drama theater, where civilians were hiding from the bombing, with the inscription "CHILDREN" in front of it.
"The world must remember everything that Russia has done to Ukraine and Ukrainians, and every Russian murderer must be held accountable for what they have done. We will ensure their responsibility. Eternal memory to all those whose lives were taken by Russian terror," Zelenskyy emphasized.
