Yeah. Tanks are extremely vulnerable in urban warfare and are basically fire support at that point. I guess they thought that area was already clear of enemies? We have seen how Russian troops and Chechen forces would work closely together with their armored vehicles when engaging the enemy in cities. So I presume that they assumed that the area was already clear.
The thing is, how can you be sure if an area is cleared without sending troops to go door to door clearing it? There could always be some enemy lurking in some corners.... dicey situation all around
Wasn't this the video for Su-34 one ?
I reckon it'd be equally dicey if a booby trap went off in the process of going door-to-door, which would be just as deadly if not more so than armour taking rocket fire.
Adding to the fact the Russians are already undermanned, the troops would probably only get to engage upon positive contact. They just don't have enough manpower to do thorough sweeps, not least helped by the numerous high-rises that populate Mariupol.
Agreed, when I say door to door clearing I'm really pointing out how impossible it is to do so. Urban combat is just dicey....
If you don't know anything about Japan and Korea. Don't bring it up. Or you'll be the one insulting the Koreans. Their relationship is nothing like Russia and Ukraine. Go and read some history about Imperial Japan before talking.
Yes. Ukraine used to be a 'little brother' to Russia. What is so insulting about that? Remember that they, the Russians used the word 'brother' when describing the Ukrainians. Because Russia regards Ukraine as family, not as a subject. Ukraine since 2014 has become the USA's pet. Ukraine can't negotiate peace with Russia without the US's consent. Which is more insulting for Ukraine? Brother? Or pet?
Compare that with USA. Great Britain is USA's poodle. Canada, EU, Australia, and Japan are pets the of USA. USA doesn't want family, it only wants pets. How to make a distinction between family and pets? Look at how US allies speak and act. Look at their economies. Look at how heavily reliant they are to the USA.
All major powers want to have their geopolitical space. Russia has its backyard. USA has its backyard. If another intrudes into the geopolitical space of another, then shit happens. This is not decided by you or me. Wake up and grow up. The world is not rainbows and unicorns.
You want to argue about morals with me? Then do this. I want to know where you stand. Do you condemn the Nazis in Ukraine?

Interesting news here
"A Russian Army leaflet to the people of Energodar, telling them all utility bills are waived and the lower-priced Russian system will be implemented.
In Kherson, the Russian ruble is now the currency.
I said so from the beginning: Russia intends to annex east and south Ukraine."

Germany: "Shhh...!"
