Ukraine Marine unit in Mariupol: 'Gradually we are coming to an end'
Fox News ^ | April 12, 2022 | Greg Norman

Posted on 04/12/2022 6:13:25 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Ukrainian Marines trying to defend the city of Mariupol from the onslaught of the Russian army says they've been fighting for more than a month without resupply of ammunition, food and water – but now the "mountain of wounded makes up almost half of the crew."

The dire warning from the 36th Navy Brigade, which was posted to Facebook on Sunday, suggests cracks are starting to form in Ukraine’s fierce defense of Mariupol.

"From the beginning... we have been defending Mariupol for 47 days," the Marines wrote. "We were bombed from airplanes, we were shot from artillery, tanks and other fire materials. We kept the defense worthy by doing the impossible. But any resources have a potential to run out."

"For more than a month, the Marines fought without refilling ammunition, without food, without water... [but now] the mountain of wounded makes up almost half of the crew," it continued. "Those who have unbroken limbs and can walk, return in order."

The Marines also say their unit is "dying but fighting" and "gradually we are coming to an end."

>It’s got nothing to do with Nazis, and never did.

Azov's founding member Andriy Biletsky, leader of the far right Social-National Assembly (SNA), had stated in 2010 that "the historic mission of our nation" was to lead the "white races of the world in a final crusade for their survival […] a crusade against the Semite-led Untermenschen"

Uh...

It didn’t go into civil war. There were demonstrations against his regime.

No coup, leave alone a USA sponsored coup

Cannon fodder have to think they are fighting their own war against “the enemy”. The game wouldn’t work otherwise.

Biden is using Ukraine and Russia as who to blame for his ruination of America and the American economy.

Maybe he will make a speech “Oops, sorry for the inconvenience Ukrainians, it was always about the agenda”. Yeah, that ought to fix it.

I have never been more disgusted that we as Americans are putting up with this bullshit and letting these evil clowns ruin our beautiful country.

Then leave this place. There is plenty of room for you over at DU.

If you haven’t realized yet that we are long past needing to fight for our liberty, you belong over there.

I did not realize that Ukraine had “Marines”. Thought that was a USA naval infantry force.

The Russians are holding back, on purpose, trying hard not to take out civillians.

If people want to yell and scream, “But the war crimes!” they should take a look at Africa. There’s a slaughter of Christians by muslims going on that makes Ukraine deaths look like covid.

“The original purpose of NATO was to keep the Russians from the Rhine, now it seems to be the Dneiper.”

NATO needs a cold war. So they’re trying to start one.

“Agreed. NATO should be replaced by EU. USA and Canada can stay out of it.”

It’s important to call your reps and Senators and tell them that. They’re being hammered daily by the dupes.

“The blaring alarms and screaming sirens of warning are that George Soros, Jao Bai-din, Hunter Biden, Paul Pelosi, John Kerry Jr., Christopher Heinz (Kerry), and Alex Vindman are tied in with Ukraine. That list of names is all anyone needs to know.”

The Romney kid is in the mix, too. And a few others.

Want to be righteousness about war and misery?

Here:

“Millions forced to flee
In Ethiopia, the last 16 months have been hell.

In the north of the country, as a result of a conflict in Tigray, more than two million people have been forced from their homes.

In addition hundreds of thousands face starvation, and the government has been accused of blocking deliveries of aid and essential medicines - something it denies.

There is mounting evidence that war crimes may have been committed by both sides, include mass killings and widespread use of rape as a weapon of war.

On the scale of human suffering it is surely on a par with anything else that is grabbing the world’s attention.”

Makes Ukraine look like paint ball.

“Does your wife know why 3 Ukrainian oblasts (states) seceded after the 2014 ousting of Democratically elected President Yanukovich? Was it because Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk wanted to join the Russian rapists in another Katyn forest massacre?”

“You’re not allowed to talk about that, you must be a Putin lover!”

/s lol

And how Ukraine shelled and killed the people in Donbas after, for 10 years. Slaughtered them.

Largely neo-Nazis like Azov. They had free reign to kill them at will. And did so. That’s a good part of why Russia invaded, to stop the slaughter of ethnic Rusians there. They voted for independence, but instead got slaughtered. They ASKED Putin for help.

“You don’t know anything about realpolitik, but you reflect the ghoulish and soulless attitude of many on hate who talk about himan lives as if you’re discussing insects.”

I am quite knowledgeable on the subject. It’s your ignorance that blinds you to that fact.

Did you rant with outrage when the US invaded Iraq or bombed Serbia back to the stone age? How about Saudi bombing of Yemen?

Were those borders sacrosanct? Were those women and children not worthy of your outrage?

Of course they were not. They were on the other side of your emotional spectrum. And like all do-gooders you are controlled by your emotions, whether at home or abroad.

Russia created a false “separatist” movement through agents, money, arms, mafia-style intimidation, murder, plata or plomo threats, and then troops. There was no hint of a separatist movement in 2010 and soccer games in the Donbas were a sea of Ukrainian flags.

I disagree. Deposing democratically elected Presidents has consequences, don’t you think? Crimea voted 98% to secede after this event...
