The situation regarding the Russian invasion

As of 07:00 a.m., February 28, 2022, the city of Mariupol has been Ukrainian controlled.

1. The 'Institute For The Study Of War'

still has Russian forces in complete control starting late on the 26th. They track military equipment hour by hour.

3. Link?

4. That site he mentioned does not say Mariupol is under Russian control.

This is all I could find mentioning Mariupol..

Russian forces have taken the critical city of Berdyansk from the west, threatening to encircle Mariupol even as Russian forces based in occupied Donbas attack Mariupol from the east, likely to pin defenders in the city as they are encircled.

Not sure why that poster seems so intent on exaggerating Russian success.

[blue-wave]

5. I had my suspicion

Who knows what the posters intent is. Mariupol, after suffering intense fighting is still in Ukrainian government control. Brave freedom fighters those Ukrainians!!

[honest.abe]

6. Clearly Mariupol is in a bad situation but..

the Ukrainians there are hanging tough. Hopefully they can fend off the Russian aggressors.

7. Check The Last Couple Of Maps

of theirs I previously posted.

[honest.abe]

9. Please post link that specifically says Mariupol is under complete Russian control.

[WHITT]

10. Here's Their Positioning Map

It even lists which Russian units are where.

11. A statement not a map.

[WHITT]

14. What "Statement"?

It's a detailed map.

[honest.abe]

15. I thought so.

[blue-wave]

12. That's bogus

Your looking at a map? Really? And pray tell, how did the map makers, in the middle of all out war, get the detailed GPS coordinates to put together that map, as well as detailed GPS on Ukrainian and Russian troop positions that change by the second? And it still does not show Mariupol in Russian control. I'm not gonna respond to this nonsense any longer.

20. Wrong. See link:

[honest.abe]

23. BTW, I looked at the map more closely and it does not show Mariupol inside Russian occupied area.

Its a bit difficult due to the lack of detail but Mariupol is clearly outside the "red" zone. That poster "WHITT" is wrong.

8. Putin's war not going as planned

Feb 27, 2022 - Press ISW

The Russian military has likely recognized that its initial expectations that limited Russian attacks would cause the collapse of Ukrainian resistance have failed and is recalibrating accordingly. The Russian military is moving additional combat resources toward Ukraine and establishing more reliable and effective logistics arrangements to support what is likely a larger, harder, and more protracted conflict than it had originally prepared for. The tide of the war could change rapidly in Russia’s favor if the Russian military has correctly identified its failings and addresses them promptly, given the overwhelming advantage in net combat power Moscow that enjoys. Ukrainian morale and combat effectiveness remain extremely high, however, and Russian forces confront the challenge of likely intense urban warfare in the coming days.

You must have bad memory. Anyway I’m done with you. Not worth the effort.

[WHITT]

18. Sorry You're Confused
