Situation around Mariupol Note that DPR forces cut off Mariupol on the landward side, and since virtually all the notional “Ukrainian Navy” rallied to Russia (along with its commander, Admiral Berezovsky), the junta has no realistic way of resupplying the city via sealift in any practical way (they could sneak in a coaster or two, but that would only prolong the agony). The only way of getting in supplies is by airlift, but the junta tied down its air transport assets in resupply missions for surrounded forces on the Lugansk and Donetsk strategic directions. Furthermore, when the city falls, there will be no way of evacuating troops or loyalists. I fear a bloodbath, especially after the fascists killed all DPR supporters in a raid earlier this year. There exists a possibility that encircled Right Sector militants would act like the Imperial Japanese Navy did in Manila in 1945. These people are terrorists - they would kill for fun. Also, do note that the DPR forces are in the “Zaporozhian People’s Republic” (former Zaporizhia Oblast). That is, the DPR forces are taking the war to the junta and capturing territory not in their control at the outset of hostilities. The long-term professional core of the junta forces is melting away, most are joining the patriot side, others are simply going home. By the way, the people of Kiev DO know what’s going on, they are getting their intel from deserters. They trust the deserters, but they do not trust the junta media. It’s not healthy to show dissidence in American-ruled Kiev, but that does not mean that all of the people support the junta. It simply means that normal people do not want to attract attention from the Galician Uniate terrorists prowling the streets. They do torture those that they suspect of “treason”. Ukraine is developing every day a bit more in direction of Hitler Germany.
