This is what the Mariupol theater looked like a few days ago. You can estimate the number of people who were sheltering there after losing their homes. Mostly women and children.

Russian bombing destroys Mariupol theatre used as civilian shelter
Scores of Ukrainians feared to have been inside
A theatre where civilians were sheltering in the besieged city of Mariupol has been destroyed by Russian bombing, the city council has said.
Scores of people are feared to have been hiding inside when the building was attacked today. The council said the number of casualties was unknown but Inna Sovsun, a Ukrainian MP, told CNN that thousands of people had been sheltering there in the past two weeks.

Satellite imagery from Monday showed the word 'children' written in large white letters in Russian in front of and behind the theatre building in an effort to stave off any attack by Putin's forces

Deliberately attacking places they know women and children are sheltering to terrorize the population. Putin is pure evil!
