Ukrainian forces in Mariupol have been forced to surrender to Russian soldiers as they are run out of ammunition and have been fighting without sufficient food and water for more than a month, according to an Independent report.
A British man who volunteered to fight against Russian soldiers in Ukraine is also among these soldiers who have surrendered after defending Mariupol for weeks.
PBS correspondant Simon Ostrovsky posted a picture of the British volunteer and confirmed that he had surrendered to Russian troops, according to a former squad member.

After WWII, where were we wanted?
Ukraine has about shot its propaganda wad.
They will now believe newsweek after calling them fake news for yrs
How can they surrender for food when they are already dead because nerve agent gas attacks? /s
And yet...no reports of them executing Ukrainian POWs.
But lots of reports of the Ukrainian military executing Russian POWs.
“Using Muslims as mercenaries should be war crime in and of itself.”
I follow this guy for a more detailed summary.
The Mariupol subject comes up @ 13:50.
FYI
Oh Boo-fkn-h00.
Crimea river, and wake me up when Zelensky is deposed, or better yet, dragged around behind a box cart.
“Liberation? The word you seek is “conquest,” the Russians were uninvited, are unwanted by the population, and are leveling the place.”
They would have leveled it last month. As to unwanted/uninvited, that depends on where in Ukraine. In this area, it’s a liberation, clearly.
yesterday they said 200 surrendered,

That was the UA 501st - the rest of the unit was KIA.
Azov Bn: all 350 of them before the start
“After WWII, where were we wanted?”
Plenty of places, starting with South Korea.
“How can they surrender for food when they are already dead because nerve agent gas attacks? /s”
LOL, nice!
“They will now believe newsweek after calling them fake news for yrs”
Part of being able to deal with Fake News is knowing that when they say something against their main goals, you know it’s likely the truth (in this case brainwashing Westerners into supporting Ukraine, despite the horrific past behavior of their government).
“And yet...no reports of them executing Ukrainian POWs. But lots of reports of the Ukrainian military executing Russian POWs.”
If the media were as pro-Russia as they are pro-Ukraine, then Russia would be tempted to do what Ukraine is doing to Russian POWs.
That’s why I blame THE MEDIA more so than even Ukraine. Ukraine has been invaded and they understandably feel justified in using every tool available to them. And if that means that they can torture and kill Russians without repercussions, then they will do that.
...now if the media would simply REPORT what they’re seeing from the Ukrainians, these War Crimes would be stopped.
“Mauripol is in Donetsk. Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea oblasts declared independence in 2014.”
Mariupol locals forced out the Donetsk insurgents in 2014. When they returned, Ukrainian troops captured the city.
Belgium, Republic of China, Denmark, France (until 1966), Italy, Japan (after 1952), South Korea (after 1950), Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, the Philippines (until 1992), Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom, South Vietnam (until 1975), West Germany (after 1955), and the Northern Marianas Islands, which is the only actual territory the U.S. gained after WWII.
Russia, Russia, Russia and a few Ukrainians:
The war began in 2014 with Zelensky’s imposition of nazi style ethnic hygiene laws imposed on 11 million ethnic Russians living in Ukraine. It became a hot war now because of NATOs plans to blitz the east in a final ethnic cleansing.
