It's amusing that Putin actually believes he's in any position to make demands at all. 

Then on what date is Putin going to tuck tail and go home?

Doesn't really matter. His country (and by extension, the people he claims to be protecting from NATO missile defense systems) is almost out of money and on the verge of economic collapse. He has no table clout left.

I can agree to that at face value.

Wider picture though:

Russia has established a monetary pipeline to China, no pun intended.

SA in talks with China to get away from the dollar.

SA not talking to Biden.

Breaking his ties, whatever they may have been, from the EU and US is inconsequential to putins desires in my estimation.

Money, clout and unless he is utterly insane, a cost/risk vs reward assessment have been factored.

You can debate Russia's legitimacy all you like, but it is Russian boots on the ground in Ukraine and American boots are mysteriously absent.
The message this presents is that USA is only able to fight Third World countries, all the rest is just bluff and bluster.

Russia is claiming most Azov forces have been obliterated and civillians that Azov was not allowing to leave will soon be leaving. *Russian Source but I believe ALL sources should be shared because as we all known the Western MSM is trying to control the narrative

No idea what you're talkin bout.

Mariupol and Donetsk Oblast:

Russian and proxy forces conducted several assaults on Mariupol from the east and west on March 14 and 15.

The Ukrainian General Staff claimed that Ukrainian forces repulsed a major Russian assault on an unspecified location in Mariupol on March 15, claiming to have inflicted 150 casualties and destroyed nine Russian vehicles.

The Azov Regiment reported defeating one of the “units” (likely a battalion or company) of the Russian 22nd Separate Guards Special Purpose Brigade, a Spetsnaz unit.

The Ukrainian General Staff additionally reported Ukrainian artillery and aviation destroyed 12 Russian vehicles in columns around Mariupol on March 15.


Russian forces continue to shell civilian infrastructure and residential areas of Mariupol to force the city to capitulate.

DNR forces claimed to capture the towns of Rivnopil, Zlatoustovka, and Blyzhnje north of Mariupol on March 15.
