Wow, 50-days to take one city. Ukrainian’s are putting up one hell of a fight!

For what it’s worth, I’ve been reading the ISW updates daily for the entire conflict… They’ve been predicting Mariupol’s fall “in the next few days” for about a month now.

So even with almost no defenders left it will still take a week in in Russian time? So about a month in real people time?

This is why you treat soldiers who surrender well. If soldiers feel like surrendering will mean torture or death, they’ll fight to the end
