Ukrainians in #Mariupol are DYING FROM HUNGER, the government says. Russia is attacking all humanitarian convoys that try to enter the sieged city. People are starving. This is a deliberate destruction of Ukrainians as a nation. They are killing us, starving us, deporting us

1. Deporting? No - forcibly removing and kidnapping

War Crimes

2. I hope that guard troops are available to

accompany a food and supplies team to get into Mariupol. Food and medicine carried in armored trucks, with a troop of soldiers to defend the supply trucks?

Wonder if air drops would work to resupply people in the city.

4. Would need air supremacy or Ukr fortified corridors. Neither are available.

5. After my post I heard an interview on NPR's

morning show with a person who helps Ukraine with humanitarian aid. He said that there are Ukrainians who know the terrain well enough to get people out and bring back supplies in cities under siege. But, he said, Mariupol is especially difficult so, although they manage to get some people out and a few supplies in, it is not enough. But they are finding ways.

I hope to God that they are.
