If the fight to the end, they will at least take some Russians with them.

The Russians have ensured that Ukrainians will never surrender.

However, Russia has proven that no Ukrainian can expect any quarter. Putin's goal is Ukraine devoid of Ukrainians - genocide.

If the Russian bastards are going to kill you if you surrender, it's best to die fighting.

If I was on the front lines in Mariupol, I'd want to die fighting, too. I wouldn't want to be captured and tortured by the Russians.
