The Russian bombing of the Mariupol Drama Theatre has put an end to a unique community of solidarity and resilience, a city within a building. Now @CST_echo has gathered a entire diaspora of testimonies and rebuilt the memory of the theatre in virtual space.

With our support & @ForensicArchi our Ukrainian partners at Center for Spatial Technologies @CST_echo released new additions to their spatial archive, gathering digital & visual evidence & testimonies from the Mariupol Theatre bombing 2 years ago.

My essay "Terror Environment" for @CST_echo's investigative project on the RU attack on the Mariupol Theater:

terror proliferated beyond the bombing by opening unlimited possibilities for violence and suppression in the temporarily occupied #Mariupol

A new legal assessment by ECCHR confirms: The attack on #Mariupol Theater was most likely a war crime.
Everything points to the fact that Russian air forces deliberately bombed the theater as a civilian object and the civilians who sought refuge there. 🧵👉https://t.co/FPag8H9qI9

Our research into the Russian attack on the Mariupol Theater is out at https://t.co/QUqymtX4Eh and shared by @ZelenskyyUa today — on the second anniversary of the bombing. Thank you to our witnesses and collaborators @ForensicArchi @counterinv @ECCHRBerlin who made this possible.

Mariupol. Drama Theater. The letters "Children." Two years have passed...

The world must remember everything Russia has done to Ukraine and Ukrainians, and each Russian murderer must be held accountable for their actions. We will ensure their accountability.

Eternal memory to everyone whose lives were taken by Russian terror.

Where can we find a structural engineer with expertise in blast analysis to help understand explosion-induced structural damage?

On 19 August, a Russian Iskander missile hit the very center of Chernihiv.

The attack resulted in the death of 7 people with at least 180 injured. The missile detonated above the Drama Theate, not only damaging to the building but also to the surrounding historical quarter.
