#6 Landing ships suggests a threat to Odessa or reinforcing Kherson. Alternatively, I believe the port at Mariupol is now under Russian control.

#7 Good luck to Ukraine! Here's hoping Russia's navy lives up to the reputation of its army. The term "stumble bums" comes to mind.

#13 The picture should show before and after citizens of Mariupol-- alive and fed vs starving then dead.

"Civilians trapped in Mariupol and other besieged Ukrainian cities are at risk of starving to death, the executive director of the World Food Program said after visiting the country. The United Nations agency said Mariupol is likely running out of its remaining food and water reserves, and that 60 percent of those displaced across Ukraine are “worried about finding enough to eat.”

The Russians say they are evacuating civilians back to places where they can be provided for.

Additionally, they say they are providing some aid in Mariupol for civilians.

#16 I hear dogs are becoming an endangered species in Ukraine because Russian soldiers find them tastier than the meat they can get in their shops in Russia.

badanov, one of your translated posts a few days ago reported that 100,000 evacuated Ukrainians were settled in Siberia and points north of the Arctic Circle, also Chechnya and other locations.

Posted from the Ukrainian perspective. One of Zelensky's claims.

#21  Fair enough. I didn’t remember that part.

Russian wouldn't admit to anything like that.

In some of the translated posts going back a ways, are mentions of humanitarian corridors civilians can take both into Russian as well as in points west and northwest in Ukraine.

Would not be so hard to believe that assistance would would be available to civilians beyond those points as well.

#22 Dog meat is what the Ukrainians will eat - if they're lucky enough to get a ration.

David Beasley, director of the World Food Program, says WFP relies on Ukrainian cereals to feed roughly half of the 125 million people the organization provides aid to. In an address to the UN Security Council recently, he warned that his organization may soon have to ration food to the hungry to save the starving
