"Amphibious assault" underway west of Mariupol on the Sea of Azov, senior US defense official says

CNN

There is an “amphibious assault” underway on the Sea of Azov, located west of Mariupol in Ukraine, a senior US defense official told reporters on Friday.

Russians are now “putting potentially thousands of naval infantry ashore there,” the official said.

The official did not know exactly what these infantrymen are going to do in Ukraine, but the official said “the general assumption is they are going to move towards the northeast, towards Mariupol and the Donbas region.”

about the Russian army/navy/air force being so powerful, it sure isn't taking much to push them back.
