The European Union condemns the "serious violations and war crimes" committed by Russia in Ukraine, the EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Thursday.
"The European Union condemns in the strongest possible terms the Russian Armed Forces and their proxies' continued targeting of Ukraine's civilian population and civilian infrastructure, as well as their siege of the city of Mariupol," Borrell said in a statement.
Ukraine has accused Russia of bombing a theatre in the eastern city Mariupol where hundreds were taking shelter, despite a sign saying "children" in Russian -- etched out in the ground on either side of the building.
Mariupol's city hall said on Telegram that "around 30,000 people have left on their transport", adding that "80 percent of residential housing was destroyed". It said it was "clarifying information on victims" of the theatre shelling.
