The city of Mariupol, located in the south-east of Ukraine, could soon be targeted by the army of Vladimir Putin. An attack that pro-Russian separatists are already actively preparing.

On the separatist side, the military device becomes more and more impressive as one approaches Mariupol (Ukraine). We see military trucks of the separatist forces, but also armored vehicles parked on the side, and tanks hidden behind houses. Dozens of buses bring new recruits towards the front. Thursday, February 24, dozens of Russian tanks took the direction of Mariupol.

From his home, in the last village before the front line, a man hears shelling. He supports the Russian offensive. Vladimir Putin said it, he recognizes the independence of the whole Donbass, and not only of the part in the hands of the separatists. This includes areas previously controlled by Kiev, including the large city of Mariupol.
