Quote:The secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, said Ukraine had managed to deliver weapons via helicopter under cover of darkness to the steel plant in Mariupol, The Associated Press reported
Remarkable if true, but in context of what Ukrainians have already verifiably accomplished thus far, eminently believable.

Quote:Ukrainian intelligence: Russia plans to conscript Ukrainian civilians from occupied regions
Desperation. It is only a matter of time before Ukraine drives the invaders out if the Russian army can't even reconstitute their forces with other Russians. Kherson will probably be first, but if the defenders of Azovstal can hold out for a couple months, breaking the siege there seems plausible if Russia exhausts themselves with their piecemeal offensive in the Donbas.
