   Refuse to make peace implies the will to continue fighting   
   In one of his first acts as the new commander in chief of the Ukrainian army   
   after Russian attack, Ukrainian President ordered that there will be no   
   retreating from the Russian front in Ukraine. “The will to hold out must be   
   brought home to every unit!"   
      
   Or consider Hitler's Fortified Area orders of 1944 as the Russian Army advanced   
   Not sure how many civilians US bombed to death in order to claim vicyory in   
   WWII, but Russians better on ground in Europe than the other Allies.   
   US depends on nuclear deterrence to defend against Russian overwhelming ground   
   forces.   
   US air power better, but each plane very expensive and not really meant to   
   invade Russian space as use of unmanned aircraft would be employed, including   
   nuclear missiles, but then US kills more civilians wwith nuclear death. Not   
   good!   
      
   So Ukraine amy to defend each city as a Fortified Area from which insurgency   
   acts are encouraged and supplied by the West.   
      
   Unfortunately, cities have civilians and civilians are trapped in Ukrainian   
   Fortified Areas.   
      
   Siege tactics are employed against Fortified Areas while artillery bombards.   
   Traditional warfare.     
   Russians wanted to encourage Ukrainian leader to surrender the fight and   
   Russian army needs not to treat cities as hostile. Sad!   
   What about citizens who live in Russian occupied cities Are they being   
   provided food, electricity and water?   
      
   To get Mariupol to surrender, must provide necessary basics to the residents   
      
   Am looking as to how well civilians in occupied towns are treated after   
   surrender of city.
