Nearly 1,000 last-ditch Ukrainian fighters who had held out inside Mariupol’s pulverized steel plant have surrendered, Russian said Wednesday, as the battle ... drew toward a close.
...
The Ukrainian fighters trooping out of the ruined Azovstal steelworks that became the last stronghold of resistance in the city face an uncertain fate. Some were taken by the Russians to a former penal colony in territory controlled by Moscow-backed separatists.
...
Russia’s main federal investigative body said it intends to interrogate the surrendering troops to “identify the nationalists” and determine whether they were involved in crimes against civilians.
The Russian parliament was scheduled to consider a resolution to ban the exchange of any Azov Regiment fighters but didn’t take up the issue Wednesday.
Also, Russia’s top prosecutor asked the country’s Supreme Court to designate Ukraine’s Azov Regiment — among the troops that made up the Azovstal garrison — as a terrorist organization.

That’s not very convincing. Oh, and the whole “repeat the word nazi as many times as I can” bit doesn’t work for liberals, and it doesn’t work for you. No matter how many times you say it, not everybody you dislike is Hitler.
Are you Russian?
You raise a very good point. Imagine if China started mucking around in Texas politics after a divided and weak USA collapses from woke politics. Helping Hispanic Nationalists split from the USA, delivering weapons, aligning with Mexico in a military alliance, promising to contain the remaining USA.
You will start to understand the role the US deep-state and neocons play mucking around in Ukraine.
Why was Ukraine split from the USSR…You’re asking why Ukraine ceases to be part of an organization that ceased to exist?
Why not go ahead and give it a try?
Disgusting to compare the men of Goliad with a bunch of Nazi trash. .

The Russians that knocked out that last Nazi stronghold are indeed heroes. Now the Nazis are going into captivity like their 3rd Reich idols.
You know you loved Santa Anna and his Mexican horde.
I am baffled by conservatives who are so naïve as to believe that suddenly Pelosi, Biden,, Sean Penn, Bosnia Johnson, the leaders of the EU in Germany, Soros, Schwab, CNN, Schumer etc are suddenly on the side of freedom. Uke fans are supporting globohomo.
I haven't seen that support. There are many conservatives, myself included, who believe that the US should not be involved with this war on either side. Occasionally, the lack of support for Ukraine is characterized as support for Russia, but I believe that is a mischaracterization.
Look at the videos for God’s sake. Ukrainian videos are definitely authentic given what happens on them and that they are uploaded by the identified participants who were bragging of it and also recording addresses promising to do more.
There are videos of military surgeons promising to castrate the wounded on live TV, soldiers bragging of killing own civilians as collaborators.
The Russian “atrocities” are mostly dubious alleged CCTV videos where you are told by the reporters who is who. Regarding war crimes it worth mentioning that Zelensky released the violent criminals including rapists and murderers from prisons and gave them rifles. How many of “Russian atrocities” are their deeds?
It was a part of Russia before USSR.
“I’m baffled by conservatives who support Russian, up to and including slandering Ukrainian soldiers.”
We’re baffled by people who claim to be conservative yet have no problem with us sending billions of dollars of cash and equipment to a far way country that has nothing to do with us except for that country being used in the first impeachment of President Trump. Also, Ukraine is a corrupt country, a very corrupt country.
Claims such as “slandering Ukrainian soldiers” are not a thing. If this does happen, it’s in such a small number as to be unnoticed in comparison to the actual slanders of Russian soldiers (there are dozens if not hundreds or thousands of postings on FR accusing Russians of killing civilians, of being incompetent, etc. Where are the similar postings regarding Ukrainians?).
The elephant in the room though is the unrelenting over-the-top support for Ukraine by the Democrats and the media.
That should make us think very hard before we consider demonizing Russians.
HAHA you wish!! Russians can’t seem to get a hold on Ukraine can they?
Grandmothers with molotov cocktails and 50 year old AKs are kicking there asses.
So much for the Russian military.
Are you Ukrainian or eastern Polack?
Grandmothers with bottles of pickles.
Did you notice Russians invading a sovereign nation, destroying it’s towns and targeting civilians? Did you see pics of the levelled cities? It’s the work of cowards.
Pretty hard to miss, since they do it every day and it’s on video....every day.
