What?

[edit]

None of this is actually fighting in Mariupol proper, and so I think that the present state of this article is odd. RGloucester — ☎ 15:27, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@RGloucester: I think we either rename this article or we merge it. I'll add a merge tag to this article.--Arbutus the tree (talk) 21:22, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd leave it alone for now. I think we should wait a day or so, see what happens, then merge if nothing happens. RGloucester — ☎ 21:27, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Leave the article, clashes have been notable enough in the news for the last week. However I would rename it to something like Defense of Mariupol or some-such, unless the Russians breach the city in the next few days and enter it. Before we make a decision, like RG says, wait a few more days. EkoGraf (talk) 14:51, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Given the lack of fighting at Mariupol proper, I've moved the article to a better title. This should suffice. If the fighting does reach Mariupol, we can change the name back. RGloucester — ☎ 17:02, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

On 6 September, seven Ukrainian Army tanks (T-64 type) faced in battle 30 advancing tanks (T-80 type),..The Ukrainians repelled the attack.

[edit]

And they won. C'mon.... Obvious propaganda is obvious. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 10:15, 11 September 2014 (UTC) Also The Guardian had nothing about the battle, it was cherry picked to create a synthesis .--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 10:20, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Secured" in what way? The Minsk Protocol was signed days earlier. RGloucester — ☎ 21:31, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It may have been signed days earlier but it came into effect in the area of Mariupol only than. And like he told the steelworker crowd, they secured the city with tanks, howitzers, anti-tanks guns etc if there come violations of the ceasefire. After his visit the shelling and fighting on the outskirts of the city stopped and until today there were almost no instances of clashes near Mariupol.
