Rumours of a thrust towards Mariupol.

This is one of two things:

- An actual strike on Mariupol
- A demonstration (1) to get the Russians to commit units to its defence (2) so Ukraine can then commit its reserve, probably towards Melitopol/Crimea (3) pic.twitter.com/jSO6Tz8MVk

Shush don't give Russians any idea of how a potential counter attack in the south could play out.
It is proven that even open source intelligence laymen are more capable in military strategy than russian command.

Ukrainian soldiers: "Yeah, more tanks!"
Ukrainian mechanics: "Oh give me a break already..."
