This is recommended viewing of Putins viewpoint. Not the only one either.

From Twatter:
“ What happens around Mariupol in the next few days should reveal alot about the state of the Russian Army--in a ghastly way. The 'demand' that the city be surrendered was really a plea. Saying to the Ukrainians, 'we really dont want to send our army into the town.'” - Phillips O’Brien, Professor of Strategic Studies at St Andrews.
