No one is holding citizens hostage. The Ukronazis were killing them when they tried to leave, but the Russians have been helping them evacuate and Armenia just sent them tons of aid which Russian soldiers are handing out.
Even a dog the ukronazis had shot in the neck was rescued by donbas soldiers and taken to a vet for surgery a few days ago. A lab.
So the Russians are helping the citizens of Mariupol by bombing them and shelling their houses? How are they handing out the "tons of aid"? Is it packed inside the artillery rounds?
Do you realize how dumb it sounds to argue that the Russians are trying to help the people in a city by shelling and bombing it relentlessly?
And what is your source?
