Death from bombs, disease, or starvation​

Not a new strategy​

Media such as the Financial Times have recalled in their analysis how the strategy of besieging a key city to the point of destruction is not new for Russia.

Flee the Russians again​

Mariupol had already taken in displaced people from the Donetsk People's Republic, taken over by pro-Russian forces and broken off from Ukraine. Now, those who have been able, have had to flee again for the second time.

An important city for Russia​

Mariupol is a key strategic point for as it is an important port that connects Ukraine with the Crimean peninsula (annexed by Russia in 2014).

Mercilessly​

Without reliable data but with some sadly revealing images, Mariupol seems to have become one of those cities that symbolizes the horror of any war: from Gernika to Nagasaki or Dresden to Beirut.

When will it all end?​

Yet, despite it all, Mariupol resists even though the bombs keep falling.

Maybe they had one or even multiple dialogues. The swamp is deep in Ukraine.
