Russia has given Ukraine until the early hours of March 21 to surrender the besieged city of Mariupol, according to a Russian state news agency.
Russian Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev, head of the Russian National Defence Control Centre, has given his counterparts until 5am Moscow time (2am GMT) to respond to his ultimatum, RIA reports.
According to the state controlled media outlet, "the Ministry of Defence wants to receive a written response from Kyiv to these proposals before 5am.

The point is the guy had no business breaking into the house in the first place. Nothing changes the fact that Putin invaded. Period. End of story nothing needs to go beyond that. I don’t care what went on before that unless you can tell me that Ukrain bombed Moscow, there was zero reason to invade.
“people and soldiers who are energized with the highest possible morale in their hearts, minds and will... Determined to expel the invaders from their homeland.”
What happened to the millions of refugees fleeing to the west?
The propagandists can’t keep their stories straight.
Thank you very much. I have been saying this on other threads but I get hammered by quite a few people. Putin doesn’t want to destroy Ukraine, he could have done that within a few hours at the very beginning.
We armed the Saudis to the teeth and stood back and watched what happened next.

And you would have said the same, no doubt, if we went into Cuba to take out the Soviet missiles - we had NO RIGHT. End of story.
Do you think women, young and old, with their children should have stayed there?
I know who I think is insane
Kosovo was an internal Serbian problem. Didn’t stop Bent Dick from illegally attacking Serbia and gouging out it’s soul. Putin took notes
“Unable to respond to facts, you turn to the old standby, name-calling.”
Facts that only communists propagate.
Not facts and not analogous.
“(And you think I’m with Code Pink? Yours is the liberal [that is, emotional] response, not mine.)”
I think the opposite. If you’re sincere you have been turned in to a useful idiot by hard leftist propaganda. I’m point out that your rhetoric is exactly that of Code Pink, Bernie, Chomsky etc...using their false “facts”.
There has also been zero reason to push NATO closer to Russia, but that hasn't stopped NATO from doing it.
“We armed the Saudis to the teeth and stood back and watched what happened next.”
Is this from a random sentence generator?
Explain what happened.
I’m sure that Ukrainians fully support the efforts of their Russian liberators.
If the US has not left piles of rubble and bodies in the aftermath of our attacks against sovereign ME nations over the past twenty years, please enlighten us. If the US is in the business of accusing countries' leaders of war crimes, we've got a few of our own to submit for the tribunals.
I don't know who else acknowledges this uncomfortable fact, nor do I care; you pointing out radicals with similar views doesn't make these uncomfortable facts incorrect.
(Simply refute the facts or hold your peace.)
Apples and oranges. The US didn’t move nukes into Ukraine and aim them at Russia, had that been the case Russia would have the right. But Ukraine did not invite the US to build a base in Mariopol did they?
If you want to play What Aboutism the two things have to be equal.
Ah, advocating mass murder of civilians, to knock out MAYBE 1000 neo-Nazis (probably less, now, and assuming they are all still in Mariupol, which is VERY unlikely).
That’ll bring people over to your viewpoint.
Then Putin should have demanded a meeting with NATO not invade Ukraine and kill a bunch of innocent people who don’t even know what NATO is.
“Whataboutism” is an old soviet trick to justify their deliberate mass murder.
Using it does not look good, especially for a noob account such as yourself.
China is going to have the same dilemma with Taiwan.
If Mariupol doesn’t surrender, Putin is going to blow up some more old folks homes and take more geezers prisoner.
