Re: Eastern Europe/Ukraine [Feb 6th 2015]
Russians took Kherson in 6 days - a city that’s roughly jald the size of Mariupol in terms of area and population. But the siege of Mariupol has lasted 40 days so far. So urban fighting difficulties aside, there are always local conditions.
Mariupol is extraordinary in the context of this war.
