Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he believes “tens of thousands” of people in Mariupol have been killed, as he asked South Korean lawmakers to provide military assistance.
Speaking to South Korea’s National Assembly by video link, Zelensky says Russia has “completely destroyed” the besieged city of Mariupol.
“The Russians completely destroyed Mariupol and burned it to ashes. At least tens of thousands of Mariupol citizens must have been killed,” he says, speaking by video link to South Korean lawmakers.
“But for Russia, Mariupol is just an example. Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve seen a lot of destruction like this in the 20th century.”
Zelensky says South Korea could help his country’s fight against Russia by providing military equipment, from airplanes to tanks.

This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
