VLADIMIR Putin has been charged with genocide following Russia’s “barbaric” bombardment of a maternity facility in Mariupol.
On Wednesday, Russian soldiers dropped “several bombs” on a hospital in Mariupol during what was supposed to be a truce to allow residents to flee. The local council said that seventeen individuals – including many pregnant women – were injured due to the “colossal” devastation.

He has also blamed Ukraine’s Western allies of “ignorance” of terror – although Nato has repeatedly rebuffed his multiple demands for a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
Boris Johnson denounced the incident, declaring that “few things are more wicked than the deliberate targeting of weak and defenseless individuals.”
