Russian state TV appears to blame Ukrainians for Mariupol devastation

A Russian state TV anchor appeared to blame Ukrainian nationalists in a segment around the destruction of Mariupol.

“Sad scenes of course... the Ukrainian nationalists withdraw trying not to leave a stone unturned", she reportedly says in Russian.

Mariupol has become one of the worst-affected areas by Putin's relentless invasion, with mayor Vadym Boichenko warning last week that there was “no city centre left”.
