LVIV, Ukraine, March 21 (Reuters) - Ukraine on Monday rejected Russian calls to surrender the port city of Mariupol, where residents are besieged with little food, water and power and fierce fighting shows little sign of easing.

"There can be no question of any surrender, laying down of arms," the Ukrainska Pravda news portal cited Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk as saying early on Monday. read more

"We have already informed the Russian side about this."

Russia earlier called on Ukrainian forces in Mariupol to lay down their arms, saying a "terrible humanitarian catastrophe" was unfolding.

It said defenders who did so were guaranteed safe passage out of the city and humanitarian corridors would be opened from 1000 Moscow time (0700 GMT) on Monday.

Mariupol has suffered some of the heaviest bombardments since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. Many of its 400,000 residents remain trapped with little if any food, water and power.

“Zelenskyy ushering in Hitler July, 1933.”

That makes no sense whatsoever.

This is Russia. So I won't be surprised if someone in the Russian Army takes Putin out. Or the FSB.

“Zelenskyy ushering in Hitler July, 1933.”

He’s going to sterilize those he deems “disabled?”

I missed the part where Ukraine invaded Russia.

Zelensky I don’t know that much about, propaganda
abounds from both sides. If he really wants to rally
his nation, he should go to Mariupol and make a stand
with his compatriots.

“The Pink Swastika. It was actually a real thing.”

What does that have to do with Hitler, July 1933?

America. He’s in complete control of the Republican party, the media and what remains of the conservative movement.

He might like to, but, really, he can’t (well, he wouldn’t). He is the head of government and is in the nation’s capital, which is also under siege. His place is there.

Russia really concerned that a “terrible humanitarian catastrophe” was unfolding?

Then they should withdraw their troops, and stop inflicting further misery

since they created this mess
