Putin demands Mariupol surrender and wants stronger offensive in east


Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday again demanded that Mariupol surrender.

Only then, according to him, will the bombing in the southern port city – where almost no building is standing anymore – stop.

The Kremlin also appears to be confirming that troops still besieging the northern cities of Kyiv and Chernihiv should step up the offensive in the southeast.

The Russians also gave Mariupol an ultimatum a week ago to lay down their arms. That was not heeded.

The heavy firefights and heavy bombardments did not end there.

Nine out of ten buildings in Mariupol have now been (seriously) damaged and four out of ten buildings have been razed to the ground.

On Wednesday, a Red Cross building would have been attacked and destroyed, Ukrainian authorities claim

Godammit

Dem seems that city might be razed down oo


This is a pointless war

The beautiful city is gone

Putin no get plan and direction again. He's just making stupid statements to cover his shameless failure. I swear I never believe Ukraine could survive Russia bombardment for 2 weeks but it is over a month now and still counting. Apart from nuclear weapon russia is overrated

Putin it's never too late to kneel down and plead with Zelenskyy to reduce resistance instead of the weak action of issuing ultimatum to cities to surrender.Sir, if you're powerful enough you don't have to sing surrender, they would do it.

I thought some mumu people here said mariupol have been captured..? Why would a captured city surrender again...? I don't understand...!!
