Is Mariupol lost to Ukraine?


Yes, it is almost lost if Ukraine will continue to conflict with Russia.

You can invest in the organization of the defense of Mariupol arbitrarily resources and build arbitrarily lines of defense. However, in order to deliver cargo to the port of Mariupol, ships must pass through the Kerch Strait. From the moment Crimea came under the jurisdiction of Russia, the Kerch Strait became the territorial waters of the Russian Federation.

Now Russia has the ability to block, under the guise of regular sanctions, the import and export of goods through Mariupol and other Ukrainian ports on the Sea of ​​Azov.

Under the conditions of such a blockade, Mariupol will turn for Ukraine into another burden, not bringing income, but requiring maintenance resources.

On the humanitarian side of the blockade. Common logic prompts. that the port of Mariupol is a city-forming enterprise. The suspension of the port will undermine the economy of the entire region and reduce the already low standard of living of the population. Of course, humanitarian issues have their own solutions, however, Mariupol residents will have to think again whether they will continue living with Ukraine - or with Novorossia.

          however, Mariupol residents will have to think again with whom they will live next - with Ukraine or with Novorossia.

          All Ukrainian regions and especially Novorossiysk should think about this.

            Yes, they all need to think about it. And in order to think better, the strait had to be closed long ago, in response to the closure of the North Crimean Canal.

              Do you even understand why Russia devalues ​​the ruble? By the end of the year should be 37.7 rubles / dollar!
              Briefly: having a huge foreign trade surplus in the region of $ 190 billion, it is beneficial for Russia to devalue the ruble to a double inflation level of up to 14%. The budget will have a surplus of at least 7%, and corporate investment portfolios will increase significantly

          This is possible up to the "red line", which (possibly) will be crossed by Europe. At least what she does testifies to one thing - the desire to dance to the tune of Uncle Sam and the unwillingness to see and correctly assess what is happening. It is then that the GDP may declare Ukraine a fascist state and introduce its own sanctions against the junta. And such a scenario can take place.

Maybe dill and full pr .... ki, if they are from Odessa or their other ports on the Black Sea to deliver cargo to Mariupol, because in Azov they have no ports left.

          Good, for your information, first of all, you need to look in your eyes, respect yourself and act as the CONSCIENCE tells you, justice, then everyone will respect you, and I think that the GDP will put the device on the "partners", but this is not means that you need to starve the common population, forcing them to choose either with us or against us, not everything is so simple in this life! Although some explanatory work needs to be done, everything is fine in moderation.

          However, in order to deliver cargo to the port of Mariupol, vessels must pass through the Kerch Strait. Since the transition of Crimea under the jurisdiction of Russia, the Kerch Strait has become the territorial waters of the Russian Federation.


          Yes, and from the point of view of international law, everything is doubtful, despite the fact that our waters, we must pass the transport going to Ukraine! If you need to stop the flow of goods, then you need a blockade by naval means, and there are many questions, whether we will sink, deploy Ukrainian peace transports, transports under a different flag, etc. ... We need to look at the agreements on the Sea of ​​Azov, the Black Sea, etc. d ... The situation is similar in the Black Sea straits, the waters are Turkish there, but there is the Montreux Convention!

            A curious aspect: the loss of Ukrainian jurisdiction over the strait means financial losses from transit shipping. At present, about 90% of all ships sailing from the Sea of ​​Azov to the Black Sea or in the opposite direction pass through the Kerch-Yenikalsky Canal. This is up to hundreds of ships per day. Pilot and canal fees, which Ukraine previously levied for their passage, gave tens of millions of dollars to the state and local budgets, and this source was lost.

          Most of the inhabitants of Mariupol and the army of New Russia and now support, and consider themselves citizens of New Russia. But the war near the threshold of his own house, the destruction of this house will not please anyone.
          However, this truce is unlikely to last long, especially considering that:
          1. The ceasefire was initiated by Putin, who thus hoped to keep Europe from the next round of sanctions, especially since the leaders of Germany and France made statements that a ceasefire would serve as the basis for not applying new sanctions.
          2. The ceasefire at that moment was more in the hands of Kiev, which was defeated, and by now Novorossia has already exhausted the benefits of the ceasefire, especially since there is actually no ceasefire, shelling continues, there are no only offensive operations.
          3. The Kiev authorities did not exhaust the benefits of a cease-fire; they need it before the end of October to hold elections. However, Terr. the battalions and the right sector do not particularly consider themselves bound by a ceasefire, which is expressed in constant shelling, sabotage, etc.
          So after the introduction of the next sanctions by the West, there is no more basis for further deterring Russia’s offensive rush of the Novorossiysk army. And there is always a reason for this - provocations by the ukronatsiks follow one after another.

        What is so important for the situation in Ukraine and Novorossiya Mariupol?

        Mariupol is a port to which ships of the sea class can approach and both export cargo can be loaded, and import cargo can be unloaded. For example, one of the largest coal terminals is located there, which allows Kiev to organize the logistics of imported steam coal in case it does not solve the issue of coal supply for its TPPs with the Donbass (and, most likely, does not solve it, since the military operations are ongoing all deliveries stopped). The question of coal has already risen an edge for Kiev. According to the most approximate and minimal estimates, for the winter he needs a million tons of coal, and maybe even reach up to 7 million tons of coal. Such a volume can be delivered to Ukraine in only two ways, either from Russia, which is impossible now for obvious reasons, or by sea. This is because the Ukrainian gauge of the railway track is a copy of the Russian gauge (1553 mm), and the European gauge is narrower, so even the delivery of such an amount of fuel from Poland is very difficult. Just imagine how many train echelons are needed if one echelon is 3 thousand tons? About two thousand echelons need to be launched. Naturally, with such volumes of supply, the gauge problem cannot be solved.
        What is Mariupol for Donbass? This is the only export port through which foreign economic activity can be carried out. For example, it is also the shipment of coal, metal and other products. In addition, the Mariupol port is very convenient for the supply of weapons. The supply of weapons through the port is attractive because there is no need to "light up" the supplier, because a Liberian ship, or a ship from Abkhazia, or South Ossetia may arrive with weapons.

          Even if you do not take Mariupol, and at least block the port until it is impossible to operate, this creates tension in the logistics of Ukrainian energy. After the blockade of the port, Ukraine will simply be forced to start negotiations with the Donbass.

          The largest terminals were in Odessa and Mariupol. He was still in Kerch, but he also sailed from Ukraine. Kiev still has, of course, a theoretical use of Odessa terminals, but they are so overloaded that they simply can’t cope. Therefore, Ukraine will inevitably have the need to negotiate coal with the Donbass for the uninterrupted supply of electricity to cities and enterprises. It has now been announced that at peak times (in the morning and evening hours), blackouts will begin. This is a fact for Ukraine.

          Mariupol is a fairly large city and it is not such a trivial task to take it with the militia forces that exist. A quick assault failed. Now Mariupol has to survive a rather long siege. We must not forget that other Ukrainian cities are now looking at Mariupol. It must be taken as bloodless as possible, which imposes restrictions on the actions of militias.

            The port defends it and everything that Ukraine had in the area, and everything that they managed to get before the siege. Nothing good, of course, but it cannot be said that this is not enough. These are police units reinforced by territorial battalions, an incomplete brigade also managed to get there, the rest was lost during the collapse of the southern front and in attacks on Ilovaisk. In general, now the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to gather groups in several places at once in order to beat in these places. From Debaltseve try to dissect the grouping of Donetsk and Lugansk, cut off the Novoazovskaya group from Donetsk and Mariupol. Let's see what happens with them. In less than two weeks, full concentration will not end, and the beginning of attempts to unblock Mariupol or the beginning of action in other theaters of war can be expected in two weeks.

        Even "corrections" that are beneficial to them are ready to invent.

        According to the Convention, the transit passage regime does not apply to straits used for international navigation between a part of the high sea (exclusive economic zone) and the territorial sea of ​​another state (Tirana Strait), as well as to straits formed by the island of a state bordering the strait and its continental part if the sea side of the island has an equally convenient route from the point of view of navigational and hydrographic conditions in the open sea or in the exclusive economic zone (for example, Messinski Strait). In such straits, the regime of peaceful passage is used.

        In other cases.
        The provisions of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea stipulate that it does not apply to a strait used for international shipping if a strait passes along this strait in terms of navigation and hydrographic conditions on the high seas or in the exclusive economic zone. The use of such a route is based on the principle of freedom of navigation and flight.
        Between one region of the high seas (or exclusive economic zone) and another region of the high seas (or exclusive economic zone) and overlapping territorial sea of ​​coastal or coastal states, then in them All ships and aircraft enjoy the right of transit passage, which should not be obstructed. The transit passage in this case is the exercise of freedom of navigation and flight solely for the purpose of continuous rapid transit through the strait.

And here and in Crimea there will be an opportunity to answer, to take both with this fee and preferably in cash and not with promises for passage of vessels, there is no cash wait for it to be transferred, and after the passage, you will see and they will recognize and do less harm faster, Ukraine is already a little money, you also have to pay for the pilotage of the ships, you have to negotiate if you want, if you don’t want to, there you will not especially speculate with water and electricity there.

        The fact is that the Sea of ​​Azov has nothing to do with international laws. From Wiki:
        The international legal status of the sea is determined by a number of sources of law, the most relevant of which is the Agreement between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on cooperation in the use of the Sea of ​​Azov and the Kerch Strait (ratified by both parties in 2004). In this document, Azov is assigned to the category of inland waters of Russia and Ukraine

        Taking into account that the Kerch Strait is now the inland waters of Russia, it is quite legitimate to require permission for EVERY passage of a ship flying the flag of Ukraine through it.

    In Mariupol, pro-Russian sentiments have always been strong, in contrast to the neighboring Russian-speaking but liberal Berdyansk (mini-Odessa with its bargaining and resort consumerism). Why did the uprising drown in Mariupol in spring / summer? The reason is simple, the working class was on a leash by the owner Akhmetov and Taruta. Two metallurgical giants Azovstal and the plant them. Ilyich in private hands. But this was not always the case even in modern Ukraine. Until 2010 year, the plant them. Ilyich was in state subordination. And its director, the red director, Boyko, had the floor and authority, all of some 4 years were shared by relatively independent proletarian thinking. And everything could be different. And so the city was intimidated, who should be arrested, and who was even killed. If the army of Novorossia after Mariupol moves to Berdyansk, I recommend avoiding it, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, they themselves will crawl on their knees to give up when they have weakened the liberal illusion that the cottage for vacationers by the sea is stronger than the industrial potential of the country, which was sacrificed associations with the EU. They forgot the economic geography and the food chain. And then I communicate in PM with Berdyansk, they say Stalingrad is preparing to arrange for the Russian invaders.

They are strengthening Mariupol, the militia has not so much strength, the boilers that were before that could be said in the open field, there is a large city, port, airfield, and geographical obstacles. Now it will be more important not to capture Mariupol, but to break new junta reinforcements into the trash. The Armed Forces of Ukraine will have no strength, Novorossia will live, there will be an opportunity to break through the defenses to go behind and then the remnants will run again, only now to the Dnieper.

    Blocking the port of Mariupol ... Why do we need this ??? Strategic dividends - a minimum (yes, no, practically), but the stench will be for the whole world and we will establish ourselves as an "evil empire". It is clear that we will not be good for geyropes and others like them, but why give extra trump cards for their propaganda - we need it? Yes, and it would be why ...

      And yes, and "not quite", Maxim.
      Mariupol is Azovstal. But Russia has enough of its own enterprises.
      Mariupol is first of all a PORT. But it is of minor importance in exports to Russia
      If you block the port, Kiev will negotiate with Donbass on coal. If you take the city - Novorossia will receive weapons (?).

      What is so important for the situation in Ukraine and Novorossiya Mariupol? Mariupol is a port to which ships of the sea class can approach and both export cargo can be loaded, and import cargo can be unloaded. For example, one of the largest coal terminals is located there, which allows Kiev to organize the logistics of imported steam coal in case it does not solve the issue of coal supply for its TPPs with the Donbass (and, most likely, does not solve it, since the military operations are ongoing all deliveries stopped). The question of coal has already risen an edge for Kiev. According to the most approximate and minimal estimates, for the winter he needs a million tons of coal, and maybe even reach 7 million tons of coal. Such a volume can be delivered to Ukraine in only two ways, either from Russia, which is impossible now for obvious reasons, or by sea. This is because the Ukrainian gauge of the railway track is a copy of the Russian gauge (1553 mm), and the European gauge is narrower, so even the delivery of such an amount of fuel from Poland is very difficult. Just imagine how many train echelons are needed if one train is 3 thousand tons? About two thousand echelons need to be launched. Naturally, with such volumes of supply, the gauge problem cannot be solved.

      Mariupol port is so important for KIEV- This is the export of metal and metal structures. This is the business of the oligarchs, and it is precisely for its support that the six oligarchs - PromezhLyashko - are spinning all the time in Mariupol.
      Even the "Gutters" himself honored the city - to plump there and come out with a glass gaze.
      And that is why there were all past events with executions of civilians - the oligarchs are panicky afraid of losing Mariupol.

      What is Mariupol for Donbass? This is the only export port through which foreign economic activity can be carried out. For example, it is also the shipment of coal, metal and other products. Export!
      In addition, the Mariupol port is very convenient for the supply of weapons. The supply of weapons through the port is attractive in that there is no need to "shine" the supplier, because a Liberian ship, or a ship from Abkhazia, or South Ossetia can arrive with weapons.

      Even if you do not take Mariupol, and at least block the port until it is impossible to operate, this creates tension in the logistics of Ukrainian energy. After the blockade of the port, Ukraine will simply be forced to start negotiations with the Donbass.

      Ukrainians announced that Ilyichevsk and Yuzhny (both Odessa region) are ready to accept coal. Mariupol did not accept coal, but shipped it - there would be the same problems as in other ports. But in principle, build a flyover for conveyor loading in the railway the trains will not take much time - ships with coal from Yu.Afrika will not even have time to approach. I wonder only where they got the money for this coal? It would not be cheaper to take it in the Donbass, because a significant part of the coal-mining areas is still under the power of the junta. But they don’t even want to restore anything - apparently, they don’t hope to hold on for a long time.

        Odessa has a coal harbor, that's how much

        In January-March of this year, the ports of Greater Odessa handled 14,9 million tons of export cargo (61,1 percent of all exports), import - 2,3 million tons (63,9% of all imports), transit - 4,8 million tons (72,7% of Ukraine's transit).
        . Including transshipment of ore amounted to 5,56 million tons (-4,1%), coal - 1,12 million tons (-1,2%), coke - 0,19 million tons (+ 32,9%)
        we conclude that it is possibly coke that will increase + coal itself.
        Odessa itself accepts little coal ... but the newest terminals of the Yuzhny - this is where Coal will grow. However, all this is "Big Odessa"

      Sorry, but this is complete ignorance of the essence of the matter.
      Himself, until recently, thought the same ...
      Bulk (at the level of 1 mln t / g and more) and efficient coal shipment is carried out in Ukraine by the ports of Yuzhny (36,6% of the total coal shipment in 2004), Mariupol (30,8%), Izmail (11,8%) and Kerch (6,4% ) Powerful terminals (operating, by the way, at the limit of their capabilities) have only Mariupol and Yuzhny. Unloading of large-capacity bulk carriers with coking coals for domestic metallurgy is possible almost exclusively in the South. This situation led to the development of projects for the construction of coal terminals in the port of Yuzhny and in the Northern Bay of Sevastopol (IC Avlita)

      Of course, infa is very outdated. Maybe that’s what has changed in terms of changing port capabilities, who still remained with Ukraine.

      Hence the main conclusion - Mariupol is crucial for coal reception, BUT NOT THE ONLY port ...

That's why gentlemen "humanists", Western humanism does not apply to us and to Novorossia, based on their policy, everything must be done so that Mariupol becomes part of Donbass again, and there the rest will "catch up" (Kharkiv, Nikolaev, Kherson, Odessa and further down the list)!

    As for Mariupol, the port is important. Metallurgy without reference to raw materials (iron ore is not in the territory of Donbass) is dead. By the way, this was used to remove Boyko from the leadership of the Ilyich plant. Being in Berdyansk by the will of fate almost all summer, and communicating with the local population, we can talk about the following facts. In June and early July, there were certain panic moods "there are no holidaymakers - the season is bad" (according to local data, about a third of holidaymakers in previous seasons were Russians - and the most solvent ones). Since mid-July, there has been an "influx of Donetsk and Luhansk people" - housing prices have gone up and "hurray-patriotic" sentiments are on the rise. At the same time - a sufficient number of people are indignant with the "Donetsk" - they say all the troubles are from them ("come in large numbers" - queues everywhere, prices on the market have increased, they do not want to fight for "Nenka", etc. - and all this nonsense is in pure Russian ). People from rural areas - busy with farming, bringing products to the market - live a normal life. Those who are more perspicacious - stock up on coal and firewood, clean old stoves and fireplaces and think what they will do next season - where to take agricultural products (before that the main sales markets are Mariupol, the coast (vacationers), Donetsk, the north of Donetsk And the Luhansk region. But these are only a few. The rest of the mass - "Hurray! We are breaking, the Swedes are bending (" separatists ")." After the victories of Novorossiya, and especially the attack on Mariupol, the flags on the cars sharply decreased. Such are the facts.
    Yes, here's another - grain is exported at a crazy pace - the roads to the port are literally dotted with them.

    True, it is one thing to express your sincere and cherished desire, but it is quite another to stay in the city, which, very likely, is preparing to repeat the fate of many and many "cities and towns" of the Ukrainian East that have been practically destroyed.

    In my opinion, the Russian Federation will not block vessels arriving at the port of Mariupol. At first in Mariupol there are many ordinary people (zombunuty people are not considered to blame themselves) who just want to live.
    Secondly if coal is former Ukraine and will purchase even on the Moon it will do so at its own expense and not the Russian Federation.
    Thirdly blocking the passage and the like will not look in the person of the notorious west and geyropa and as a result a strong and prolonged howl will rise (although the RF will not get used to it) whose consequences are unknown (do not underestimate their fucking sanctions)
    Ideally, it would be that the militia would take Mariupol and show goodwill wink and did not interfere with the unloading and loading of ships.

      In general, once again, we are "hawks", "patriotic sentries" and "all-fighters" once again ask you to turn on your brains. And do not hawat the mantra about "America-wants-to-incite us" and other things, such as "the market-everything-will-regulate" nonsense, which you are being led like sheep since the times like the same as you elected EBNa for the 2nd term.


      It’s hard for people to understand the situation !!!
      and when it comes, they quickly change their shoes !!

    -Mariupol for Novorossiya is the "skin of an unkilled bear" ...
    -And such "bears" in Novorossia are almost half of the entire territory of Novorossia, which is occupied by dill ... -Yes, both Lugansk and Donetsk (the airport has not been released) are in a rather "unstable position" ... -And probably the main task of the militia today there is a problem - how to adequately "accept" another blow from the Ukropov army and withstand ... - There, they managed to arm themselves with new tanks and received other new weapons .., formed new military units .., and command the dill, most likely , now there will be American commanders ...
    -And now all this Ukropov armada will try to launch an offensive in several directions, with one blow and decide the outcome of this whole war ... -And they have very real reasons for this ...
    - So, there’s nothing to talk about ... how to storm Mariupol ...
    -Maybe it will be necessary to remove the entire "siege" from this city and throw it to the aid of the militia, when the dill will start an offensive again ...

    Mariupol is not only a port (as they used to say: the sea gates of Donbass), but also metallurgical giants named after Ilyich and Azovstal, machine-building Azovmash (now knocked down and practically not working), a coke and chemical plant. that the residents of Mariupol need to decide where to live. So, on May 11, 2014 we made our choice: 85% voted for the DPR. This is a fact! And the fact that there are some rallies in Mariupol, do not forget that people the owners of the factories are forcibly collected there. Poroshenko recently came to us and told us how he loves Mariupol people. Whoever does not, he will remember that this scoundrel, having closed the Mariupol confectionery factory, left hundreds of people without a livelihood! Glory to Novorossiya !!!

    Do you even understand why Russia devalues ​​the ruble? By the end of the year should be 37.7 rubles / dollar!
    Briefly: having a huge foreign trade surplus in the region of $ 190 billion, it is beneficial for Russia to devalue the ruble to a double inflation level of up to 14%. The budget will have a surplus of at least 7%, and corporate investment portfolios will increase significantly

    And in Russian?

    I live in Mariupol, in general, the overwhelming majority is for the militia, attendance at all sorts of rallies is most often "voluntary-compulsory", even when the weather deteriorated in the east and the "hail" fell, I did not notice the negative towards the militia, roughly speaking we are waiting for us ...
    ...in outline ...

    Friends write from Mariupol that they are terribly afraid of fighting in the city. I feel sorry for them. They write that several defense lines have already been set up and the troops have already been taken up. Immediately it was necessary to take the city! When the army was running, losing pants.

    At the time of the truce, Mariupol was not surrounded by militias from the west. So there is no blockade as such. And the powder was able to easily travel there. But Azovstal and others. Metallurgical plants require daily raw materials and rolled products. And railway has just been blocked. So it will soon fade as a port city...

    Actually, we need to clean everything up before Odessa!
    Then there will be complete order.
    Ukrainians are not capable of creating their own state. This has already become obvious.
    No matter how long the problem of the Maidanists drags on, it will end with a mouse squeak.
    This is an age-old topic with the Pereyaslav Rada...

    Here they write nonsense just like on the censor, only the opposite! guys! Ukraine has already equipped 25 battalions with 78-80% assault! and not of which then jump in the fields and whine that they want to see their mother! a bunch of PMCs have arrived from the west, they have planted weapons. We know, I’m saying this in passing. So, not only will we have to forget about Mariupol, but also about Lugansk and Donetsk. GLORY TO PUTIN for the successor of Yeltsin’s fight against Khasavyurt! Hurray.

    It is very correctly said that it was necessary to block Kerch as soon as the Ukrainians blocked the water supply to Crimea. Very good offer.

    We must work proactively and block everything that will help us quickly achieve victory over Ukrofashism. There will be sanctions anyway, so why wait? "Strike first, Freddy!"
