Ukraine’s military said it was working to evacuate all remaining troops from their last stronghold in the besieged port of Mariupol, ceding control of the city to Russia after months of bombardment https://reut.rs/3wlYbUG
From the false headline down the Washington Post report on the issue is a master piece of propaganda:
Ukraine ends bloody battle for Mariupol, evacuates Azovstal fighters
Ukrainian fighters have ended their weeks-long defense of a besieged steel plant in the strategic port city of Mariupol, as hundreds of combatants — dozens of them seriously wounded — were evacuated from the complex Monday.
One has to read beyond 323 words of falsehood to find out, down in paragraph 7, what really has happened.
Moscow hasn’t yet publicly responded to the developments in Mariupol, which were described by Russian state media as an order from Ukrainian military command for its troops to “surrender.”
Ukraine’s deputy defense minister, Anna Malyar, said 53 seriously wounded soldiers were taken to a hospital in Novoazovsk, a nearby town which is controlled by Russian-backed separatists. Another 211 were transported to another Russian-aligned village, Olenivka, she said. Moscow and Kyiv are brokering a prisoner swap to secure their release.
Malyar said officials were still working to rescue the remaining soldiers, though it is unclear how many are still inside. Ukrainian authorities said last week there were nearly 1,000 holdout fighters in the plant.
The f***ers finally gave up and surrendered unconditionally to the Russian forces as their only alternative was to decease within the next hours or days.
I am sure that the Russian authorities will apply a fine filter to determine who of those prisoners of war are allegeable for war crime prosecutions, de-nazification and a long stay in some north Siberian road builder camp.
There are also rumors of NATO personnel presence in the Azovstal catacombs. They will likely get to know the cellars of the famous Lubyanka building in Moscow before being exchanged in this or that deal with their home countries.
The rest will eventually be exchanged for Russian soldiers who are unfortunately held by the Ukrainian military
Well, the MSM aren’t going to stop lying now, are they?
Any more than their captive audience are going to stop believing everything they say in the present time, no matter to what extremity of degree it contradicts what they were saying days or weeks before.
We in the ‘Free West’ are too far gone into the Age of Stupid to pull back from this.
Does anybody know any good jokes?
Talk about FOR LAUGHS – just received this from The Daily Telegraph-
‘The big story: Heroic Azov hold-out may prove crucial
Troy. Leningrad. The Alamo. The defence of Azovstal and Mariupol will be added to the list of history’s most bitterly fought, painful sieges. But was it worth it? The Ukrainian government and military insist that the defenders of the Azovstal steelworks succeeded in tying down Russian forces that could have been used elsewhere. Indeed, their actions have sparked fury in Moscow, where a politician who has taken part in peace talks with Kyiv said that Moscow should consider the death penalty for fighters from the regiment. A one-time nationalist militia now integrated into Ukraine’s National Guard, they became the face of resistance against Russian troops in Mariupol. Roland Oliphant sets out why the Azovstal defenders’ heroic hold-out may prove decisive in the Donbas struggle.
It comes as Vladimir Putin has taken personal control over Russia’s faltering efforts to capture Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region, a source said. The Russian President and the head of his armed forces, General Valery Gerasimov, were said to be interfering in low-level tactical decisions usually made by much junior figures. It was suggested the pair could be meddling in the movements of Russian units containing as little as 700 soldiers. Dominic Nicholls analyses how this tactic – which also sucked in Napoleon and Hitler – shows Brigadier Putin is doomed to fail.’
There you go – you read it here first – Russia is on the brink of total defeat –
Nada Ficará no Oculto.
YES SURE, SAME AS FRIEDRICH PAULUS’ 6TH ARMY EVACUATED STALINGRAD TOWARD SIBERIA WAR PRISONERS CAMPS.
“Ukraine’s deputy defense minister, Anna Malyar, said…” as soon as I saw that surname, I knew it was fishy, neither Ukrainian nor Slav sounding, so I set out to find out more, and guess what?
A simple quick search in the Jewish Gen Ukraine Database https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/jgform.php gave me 133 martches, add to that photos from any search engine of her Shnoz with a convex nasal bridge and a downward turn of the tip further confirmed my suspicions, Anna Malyar is like her boss, and probably the entire Ukrainian government “Guilty your Honor!!!”.
One should always bear in mind , when reading or viewing Western/European journalists, the book & video etc of Udo Ulfkoette (former editor of the leading German newspaper- the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) that all important Mass Media journalists are CIA assets & that he had been one.
He died of a ‘heart attack’ aged 53.

What did the banana say when he went to to see the doctor?
Answer am not peeling very well.
The lies just continue to pour from the British press. The Daily Mail had a big spread about the supposed ‘successful evacuation’. As usual the British sheeple – stupid and pumped up with their own self-importance – believe every word of it, making further involvement – and ultinately full escalation – inevitable.
Nice try, For Fighter 🙂
For some reason, the only jokes I know concern Chinese people, and I am not at all sure it is wise to share them.
However one jolly funny one ends with the word ‘Supplies!’
This is all I am saying.
I don’t know why it’s so slow, but at least it’s not six years.
Why did the jelly roll?
Because it saw the apple turnover!

I highly recommend listening to Mitchell Henderson on Jeff Rense radio:
