It shouldn't be though, Mariupol is about 50 kms from the Russian border, 2 months after the war begun Russia has finally captured a small city a 30 minute drive from their border is hardly the fall of Berlin, in fact it is a damning indictment of just how bad Russian troops are, it is equivalent to the US taking 2 months to capture Surrey
