Russia claimed to have captured Mariupol on Friday in what would be its biggest victory yet in its war with Ukraine, after a nearly three-month siege that reduced much of the strategic port city to a smoking ruin...

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to President Vladimir Putin the “complete liberation” of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol...

...

As they surrendered, the troops were taken prisoner by the Russians, and at least some were taken to a former penal colony. Others were said to be hospitalized.

Russia said the Azov commander was taken away from the plant in an armored vehicle.

Russian authorities have threatened to investigate some of the steel mill’s defenders for war crimes and put them on trial, branding them “Nazis” and criminals.

Be certain that the criminals in DC, London and Berlin had dozens, if not over 100 special operators trapped there.

But I think Russia may value the leverage obtained by keeping that quiet.

Yeah. After they surrendered.

There are videos all over of these guys talking about how Zelensky wanted them to fight to the desth.

“The dwindling group of outgunned fighters had held out, drawing Russian airstrikes, artillery and tank fire, before their government ordered them to abandon the plant’s defense and save themselves.”

Very likely.

Also these guys are singing like birds and the Russians are likely to keep what they are saying quiet, too.

They also captured Mary 'Queen of Scotts' and three of Santa's Elves.

Oh please! Tomorrow morning the 500 or so Ukrainians still down there will emerge with (US supplied) Howitzers and take the city back!!!

We need to STOP believing everything that Russia claims.

They were already leaving before Zelensky ordered them to leave, as it took the Neocons some time to have their focus groups come up with a proper description of their surrender...but they did, finally, and they called it an ‘evacuation’ (albeit with no guns and white flags).

Russia is now being far more aggressive in Donbas with Putin out of the way and will likely wrap things up in that theater in a few days. The biggest problem with Putin is that he was too cautious.

We should put Putin on trial for the crimes committed by the Soviet Union and the KGB.

Most likely they'll just send them to "labor" camps in Siberia.

Only three? I’m surprised the usual propagandists didn’t say all seven. Oh, wait. those are the dwarfs. Hell, they captured them, too!
