Putin has started deporting Ukrainians to Russia from Mariupol. This is why Ukrainians there are fighting to the death. The political Azov monicker at this point looks like something infiltrated by Putin just as Nazis had support of Stalin, because it is a pointless political monicker given the fighting is about avoiding the Putin ethnic cleansing aka remigration he was accusing others of perpetrating.
LOL. Mariupol is a captive city, a home of Donbas uprising in 2014. Nobody is fighting to the death except the remnants of Nazi Azov regiment. They used to hold the population hostages, shooting everyone trying to live. Now most of the Azov are dead and people are free to live, most are coming to Russia after the treatment their government subjected them to.
Same old story here: Russian banditry. They don’t care Mariupol is destroyed because they just want to steal the land and gas beneath it.
