According to Ukrainian authorities, the building was sheltering about 1,000 civilians including children. On 16 March, a drama theatre that was used as an air-raid shelter during the siege of Mariupol was bombed. Control over the city leads to unrestricted land access between Donbas and Russian controlled Crimea. Its location was strategically important for Russia because of its key location in the south of the Donbas area and its proximity to the Sea of Azov. Expanding mass graves with long trenches like the one seen near Vynohradne, 12 kilometers east of Mariupol lay witness to the human cost of the seize. The city that was once a booming trade hub has now been almost destroyed with over 20,000 alleged civilian casualties. What Russia could not achieve in Kyiv, it did in the port city of Mariupol. Regaining complete control over the outskirts of the capital was arguably the highest point for the Ukrainian side in the 100 days of the battle. Almost five weeks of the stall and eventual retreat meant that the Ukrainian resistance, despite staring at an eventual defeat on the eastern front lived to fight another day. The strategic use of Air-defence systems including US-supplied Man-portable air-defence systems (MANPADS), and Turkey-supplied TB2 UCAVs mixed with the extreme courage and resilience shown by the armed civilians at the outskirts of Kyiv resulted in the Russian recoil from the Ukrainian capital. 9FZz7Jks0r- Benjamin Pittet March 20, 2022

Ukraine is a net exporter of food and moved 70 per cent of its exports by sea before the war began. As the war enters its Day 100, the control over the tiny Snake Island remains critical for both the countries considering the economic blockade imposed by Russia and its grip over the Black Sea. 'The coastal defence of our country will not only be strengthened by Harpoon missiles they will be used by trained Ukrainian teams,' Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov earlier said. Ukraine has started receiving Harpoon anti-ship missiles from its western allies. Despite heavy damages, Russia continues to control the strategic island with a continuous supply of anti-aircraft missile systems and multiple launch rocket systems.
