Russia-Ukraine War: Why Is Putin Hellbent On Taking Mariupol? | Newstrack With Rahul Kanwal

As the Russia-Ukraine war enters day 26, relentless Russian bombardment is continuing to cause severe damage in Ukrainian cities and now Russia is trying to capture the port city of Mariupol. Russian forces have reached the heart of Mariupol. The Russian military has offered the Ukrainian troops defending the strategic port of Mariupol to lay down arms and exit the city via humanitarian corridors, but that proposal was quickly rejected by the Ukrainian authorities. Col. Gen. Mikhail Mizintsev said Sunday that all Ukrainian soldiers could leave the Azov Sea port Monday using safe routes for evacuating civilians that had been previously agreed with Ukraine and head to areas controlled by the Ukrainian authorities. He said that “all those who lay down arms will be guaranteed a safe exit from Mariupol.” Mizintsev added that Russia will wait until 5 a.m. Monday for a written Kyiv’s response to the Russian proposal for the Ukrainian troops to leave Mariupol but didn’t say what action Russia will take if its “humanitarian offer” is rejected.
