BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.40pm post the following, " If Mariupol falls, it would give Russia control of one of Ukraine's biggest ports and create a land corridor between Crimea and areas in Luhansk and Donetsk held by Russian-backed separatists. "
Lets Get Real:
The Kyiv Government has to take a risk and move its troops from the North down to the South to protect Mariupol from being taken by the Russians, as the above shows if the Russians take Mariupol the KREMLIN can declare victory and partition Ukraine, like South and North Korea, the KYIV Government must throw everything it has to prevent such a move, as the Kremlin Plan A has failed, Putin could not take Kyiv and Russians Forces are being pressed and attack at they retreat. The problem faced by Kyiv if they move troops from the North to the South the Russians could come back to attack the North, Putin has drafted another hundred and thirty thousand plus more conscripts, the Russians have shown they do not care about the welfare of their men, thus they will throw young Soldiers in to the fight if it helps them with their plan in the South. The next few days and weeks could be very dangerous for the the Ukraine. The Russian - Ukraine War has a long way to go.
