Mariupol rejects Russian ultimatum to surrender

Ukrainian soldiers have defied Russia’s orders to surrender in the city of Mariupol, which has been under siege for almost seven weeks.

And the US sending in tones of high tech weapons. This will turn out more embarrassing than Afghanistan.

The Soldiers want to surrender but the government won't let them. Why are there up to 400 hundred NATO military personnel there?

[beeeah]

I know Australia is on different time zone, but my friends, Mariopul is under russian control for few days! There are few soldiers in AZOVSTAL plant but they started to surrender. What are you trying to insinuate?

[mikiko]

It's be good for Zelensky to get rid of many Azov who has been in charge of this war. He decided to kill 2, 500 his own forces inside of Azovtal steel plant for that.

No sympathy for those who have chosen death for a puppet.

[klardfarkus]

Misnomer. It is not Mariupol they are asking to surrender. It is the occupation of Ukrainian Nazis. Mariupol is a Russian republic city.

Please get the little dashound out of there he looks scared and lonely looking for his fur parents 😢😢😢😔😭he will not survive in a war zone poor fur baby'

[susankful]

How odd that a healthy calm dog shows up, suddenly! Why would that be?

[Kuching]

The Azov refused to surrender as Russian won't let them go. They have been bullying the civilians especially Russian speaking Ukrainians since 2014

[michaelashcroft]

Hang on, I thought you all said Ukraine was winning?

[brad]

They will Die then, and within a week they will be forgotten and the war will go on, how foolish they are, what happened to, Live to fight another day ?

There is no fight for Mariupol left, the city is taken, bar the ASOVSTAHL plant . The people inside are doomed if they don't surrender . The Russians have intercepted comms with these guys asking Kiev to let them surrender . Do some more research and stop parroting the NATO / EU rhetoric .

[d.d.]

it is not Mariupol, but the "super caring hero" Zelensky or better to say his masters - the US! I am really curious what they are hiding in Azovstal!

[truth]

How many lies about Russia, there is no truth in the media. Everything in Russia is good now, even better than it was. We have relatives and friends there. It's all right.

[serviusm]

The port and the city have fallen and the only place fighting on is the Steel factory.
Mariupol has basically fallen, and now death is all that awaits the remaining Ukrainian soldiers.

[TheMDM]

This is what one does when one has no common sense!

[calichenj]

Lies, lies, and more lies from Sky "News"

[europaeuropa]

Hiding like rabbits in a steel mill will do little to defend Ukraine in general and Mariupol in particular. Zelensky will be responsible for the death of these remnant forces if he does not order them to surrender. He probably will not and rather use them as pawns for international support and sympathy.

The Russians weren’t “beaten back” from Kiev. They went there as a feint to lock down the troops so they couldn’t be sent east where the actual Russian objectives are.

When this is all over, Ukraine, at best, will have lost vast swathes of its former territory if it doesn’t cease to exist as an independent state altogether.

[sharpshooter]

If they don't surrender then no other option they must die out of starvation, May lord Jesus Christ protect Russian army to lead victory entire war Amen Slava Russian army
