Ukrainian MP has accused Russia of trying to starve the besieged port city of Mariupol into surrendering.
Dmytro Gurin was speaking soon after Ukraine rejected a Russian deadline demanding Mariupol's defenders lay down their arms in exchange for safe passage out of the city.
Mariupol is a key strategic target for the Russian military.
Around 300,000 people are believed to be trapped there with supplies running out and aid blocked from entering.

surrender already and stop getting people killed for nothing
there’s no way to save Mariupol - it’s surrounded no way in or out, and no breakout rescue is coming anytime soon
Russia staving Ukraine. I wonder of the NYT will report it this time.
Oh boy! The Russians are going to starve Ukrainians.
Again.

Good question
Russians starving out Ukrainians.... some old habits never go away. Holmodor II.
Or Fascist Assad in El-Yarmouk camp...
War is hell.

Sounds like the Ukraine MP would prefer Russia to hit it with a few thermobaric bombs and be done with it.
I think starving out the civilian population is considered a legal tactic.
Exactly what Grant did at Vicksburg.
Berlin Airlift of non-military supplies? There is not a no fly zone, and I am not sure the Russians will shoot down that type of aid.
Except everybody who can is running towards the Russians from their “defenders”.
Our thugs in Ukraine, the Nazi Azov Battalions, are the ones responsible for seeing as many civilian deaths as possible. They will Stalingrad the entire area if possible. These are the US “allies” who have been prevented, so far, from false flag attacks on the nuclear and biological sites in the country. Nazi thugs in our White House got to support their Nazi goons in the field. Disgusting, the illegitimate bastards in the White House don’t care how many innocent citizens die. Biden/Soros/McConnell Inc. will do whatever it takes to subvert ceasefire and peace talks.
And like the Holodomor, it's for the same reason. Russia wants the profits from the sale of Ukrainian wheat.
Always follow the money.
CTH has gone batsh*t crazy over this war. I used to think Sundance was a breath of fresh air in the commentariat. Now I’m wondering if somebody slipped him an overdose of blotter acid.
Can't wait to see what atrocities Biden brings.
Have the Russians forgotten the Siege of Stalingrad?
I assure you, the Ukrainians haven’t forgotten the Holodomor either...
There’s not that much profit in wheat.
I think you might maybe want to look at some of the recent discoveries of oil, as well as the strategic situation of Crimea - especially the part about Crimea not having any real freshwater supply other than from Ukraine.
300k are trapped because the Azov scum blocked the escape routes and are using them as human shields. If those people had left, the Ruskies would be BBQ’ing Nazis right about now. Instead the destruction and misery will continue until the city is gone.
