Rebuilt Mariupol Theater Reopens Amid Controversy Over Deadly 2022 Russian Airstrike

The Donetsk Academic Regional Drama Theater in Mariupol, occupied by Russia, has reopened after being rebuilt over three years following a Russian airstrike on March 16, 2022. Moscow-installed authorities held a gala concert to mark the occasion. An Associated Press investigation indicated the airstrike killed approximately 600 civilians sheltering inside, refuting Russian claims that Ukrainian forces demolished the building. Ukrainian officials condemned the reopening as 'singing and dancing on bones.'
