They don’t care where they hit, terror is the goal to sap Ukrainian morale:
I would say it’s insane, but I am used to Russian propaganda. It is just so cruel, to subject a subjugated populace to this propaganda, but the Russians are cruel. The cruelty is the point, to break the will of the Ukrainian population…
Doubt they will get good will from locals.
The wealthy Russian tourists are renowned for their poor behaviour and lack of respect.
As are hospitals, ambulances, schools, residential areas … we knew that already!
At least there they will be able to learn the truth about what is happening in Ukraine. But you can’t know if they’re interested at all tbf.
Again, so much of this. And for people asking on TAN why their coms get intercepted by Ukraine, well:
More of this noise. But it’s unconfirmed:
If the counter attack succeeds, forces inside Mariupol may be able to evacuate. I doubt Ukraine can hold Mariupol as such, since the Russians have just too much forces in the vicinity.
That’s 13-15 battalions of reserves.
