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."

Crimea voted 98% after the dissenters were chased out. Yes, there was, in 2010, a 50 to 60% majority to join ru, but not the 98%
Russia is destroying the petro dollar.
That sounds like a victory to me.
(Of course they needed stupid American politicians to help make it happen.)
98 percent !!! A typical communist controlled election. And you don’t even see a red flag with that 98%. Instead you gladly uphold Putin’s position. Funny that our kinfolk that lived near Yalta did not want to leave Ukraine. They also decided the fix was in.
90% turn out
You’re defending a typical commie election.
Do you have a point? Because you do not.
War is bad so you don’t give a crap about any war? Childish and immoral.
And what the hell do you know about my opinion of Saudi bombing Yemen?
Obviously you have no idea. It’s just a cover for you sitting in your basement being happy Russia is killing Ukrainians.
Interesting that because you are supporting a looney pos dictator killing a lot of innocent people, you always charge the subject.
The subject is Ukraine.
If you want to call Gingrich and Trump names and cheer on Putin, get on with it or get lost.
“Interesting that because you are supporting a looney pos dictator killing a lot of innocent people”
You invent sh!t in your head, then spit it out like it’s reality.
If you can cite a SINGLE instance of me supporting that “looney pos dictator killing a lot of innocent people” I’ll contribute $50 to your favorite Ukrainian do-gooder charity for stupid people.
But you can’t.
Because you cannot separate your little girl emotions from what is left of your rational mind.
My point is that you have adopted Ukraine as a special case for your do-gooder sentiments because you have been manipulated into doing so. That manipulation is effective because your mind has been weakened by your emotions.
Ukraine doing things in the east that I was referring to.
Once again you change the subject and make stuff up.
You have no idea what I’ve adopted as a special case, or whether I’ve been manipulated.
Foreign policy and national security have been keen interests of mine for 50 years. I form my own opinions.
You were going on about how you don’t care about Ukraine. Ok then don’t.
I care about it on the human level and because it impacts our national security.
If you don’t know that, I can as easily say you have been manipulated.
And the reason I answer posts on here about Ukraine is that some are so disgustingly over the top ignorant and worshiping of Putin, I like to demonstrate not everyone here is crazy, and to give some support to others who are appalled by the Putin brigade.
You seem to fall in with the ones that go on and on about everything the USA ever did and then imply a moral equivalence with Putin.
I live here and don’t enjoy the luxury of pretending I’m floating in the clouds. I view things as an American.
Oh and about my “little girl emotions”, you should know Goldylocks.
The Ukrainians fighting against Putin’s army see it simply as “Putin is threatening our existence”.
Do you want the Ukrainians to surrender to assimilation?
You can’t defend your existence by dying, when your body assimilates into dust.
Luke 14:31-32.
You quite Luke about an invading king needing to pause. That’s Pooptin.
Next, Jesus defended and in fact triumphed by dying on the cross
In Heaven they are neither Ukrainian nor Russian...
