re: Ukraine cedes control of port town Mariupol

Huh...well now what will Putin want to leave? At some point, these people need to sit down and figure out how to move on. At this point this Zelensky dude is just milking foreigners for money, and that's it.

Anyone know what the actual difference between this time, and when Russia went after Crimea is? Other than money laundering and just political pandering, of course. Was there an actual different reason for Russia then then now?
