Maruipol appears to be a dire straits. This could become Ukraine's alamo. Many of the thousand remaining defenders have told press that they expect this to be their last stand as Russian has encircled them in basically two factory and port areas.

There seems to be little hope of reinforcement/rescue for them. Putin really wants complete conquest of the area as this is the area most associated with the Azov Battalion - what the Russian propaganda calls the Nazis of Ukraine.
