International attention to Ukraine war may be heading to the capital Kyiv and Odessa, the country’s largest port, but the Russia reportedly considers its occupation vital Mariupolthe city in which they were trapped approximately 400,000 civilianswith the responsibilities of release to become a ball, between the two sides.
According to a report by bbc.com, the Russian army definitely wants to occupy the city as soon as possible, with images of humanitarian catastrophe from around the world being the last issue that the Kremlin is said to be concerned about.
The following are 4 reasonsfor whom Mariupol is said to be at the center of the Russian generals, who are said to be demanding occupation at all costs.
1. Bridge of communication between Crimea and Donbas
Mariupol is the big city that connects the territories of the Crimea -which was annexed by Russia in 2014, resulting in a passage to the Black Sea and the Mediterranean- with the separatist areas of Donbasswhich are one of the official Russian reasons for the war, as there live Russian-speakers who “are subject to genocide by the Ukrainians.”
Occupying the city would allow direct communication of Russian forcesso they can control the entire front in the south, which stretches from the Russian-Ukrainian border in the east to Odessa.
At the same time, a large part of the Russian army would be liberated, which is said to consist mostly of select forces, such as Marine units.
2. The tactic of scorched earth
So far, the conditions that Moscow will set in case it signs a peace agreement with Kyiv have not been clarified, so there is an open possibility that Russia will not keep the territories it has occupied.
Thus, it is said that in case he captures Mariupol – or destroys it until he occupies it – will have set out and beyond as long as the war is going onthe strategically largest port of the Azov Sea, which also hosts an important iron and steel plant.

3. The base of Azov
From the first moment that Mariupol was besieged, members of the Azov Order appeared in the area as it constitutes basis for the military neo-Nazi organization.
In the event that Mariupol falls, Azov’s order may have lost significant strength, but the only sure thing – according to the article – is the propaganda that Moscow would use from its success.
In fact, given the fact that there are unconfirmed reports that the Ukrainian army is deliberately hitting Russian targets through cities, Azov’s “base” would be “a good opportunity for Moscow to prove its claims.”

4. The victory that has not yet come
According to the British publication, as in any war, so in the invasion of Ukraine, especially the attacker needs a “big win”to boost the morale of his army.
Mariupol is said to be the perfect target, as its fall – at least propagandistically – would signal a “domino of Russian success” that “is expected to happen soon” and is not just in the works, based on an interpretation that could be given by Moscow.
At the same time, there is the report of New Russiaa name that dates back to the time of the Tsar and is now reproduced in Russia by neo-Nazis, who dream of the territorial expansions of the Russian Empire.
