How the Mariupol theater strike exposed Russia's brutality in Ukraine
About this episode
The episode discusses the Mariupol theater strike as a significant act of civilian killing in the context of Russia's war on Ukraine.
It was perhaps the single worst act of civilian killing in Russia's war on Ukraine. The bombing of a theater in Mariupol came to symbolize Ukrainian sacrifice, and revealed Putin's true intentions. Compass Points moderator Nick Schifrin discusses one of Russia's most notorious war crimes with James Verini, author of "The Theater: Courage and Survival in the Defining Atrocity of the Ukraine War."
