Maripol is the Azov HQ. They are cut off and holding civilians hostage. They can’t surrender and they know it.

That’s the difference between Russians and Ukrainians. If Ukies surrender, that’s the end of their country. If Russians surrender, there will continue to be a Russia.

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.

“Maripol is the Azov HQ. They are cut off and holding civilians hostage.”

Do you have a source for that, that is not Russian or pro-Russian propaganda?

[Skywise]

If the propaganda is anywhere close to being true (and it sounds like it is) I’m wondering if just invading Russia at this point may be the right move (or the plan).

OTOH - things are going to be a lot scarier world wide if Russia loses this. Nature abhors a vacuum.

They are cut off and holding civilians hostage.

The first part is true, but the second part is just Putin's propaganda. The only thing keeping civilians in Mariupol is the Russians that kill people trying to flee.

“Maripol is the Azov HQ. ”

The entire city? All of it? Every inhabitant?
