Guess one possible angle might be to try and pressure Russia into calling it a win at Mariupol before their Black Sea fleet gets obliterated. But I can't see Ukraine settling for a ceasefire now neither would it really be a good thing.

I hope Tennis and all their sponsors start getting it in the neck for siding with Putin and the Russian aggressors.
I was hoping they woud take Avastol, claim victory over the nazis and say job done time to go home.
Looks like they are in for the long haull though. Ukrain is on the back foot for the fist time so not looking good.
This is going to be very difficult for Ukrain now, hopefull the West will give them the heavy weapons they need such as the F16's

Mariupol was always going to fall, it was just a matter of time.
The de-nazification thing was just an excuse this whole thing is a land grab for Ukraine, they were never going to leave after taking Mariupol.

Western Jets wont help without any infrastructure to maintain them.
Let Russia rot for a few years until their leaders realise the war is futile.
Targeting people for where they were born is moronic. Collective punishment should have disappeared in the 40s along with wearing a star.
So why is Russia invading Ukraine and killing citizens?
They're not targetted for where they were born; they're targetted for the country they represent.

This isn't the Olympics. Nobody represents a country in tennis unless it's Davis Cup. It's an individual tournament, they represent themselves.

So a bit of arbitrary racism is fine if it suits a particular agenda? I would be on a firm legal footing in denying the rental of a private property
to a Russian, and the courts would support me? Or is it only certain sporting bodies that are empowered to make such restrictions?

land grab
I see. So that's why there's massive coverage of Henman, Murray, and Raducanu in the UK, is it? Just a lot of individual supporters?
Understandably the world wants to distance itself from anything Russian at the moment, indeed any association is toxic.

That loaded answer is irrelevant to my question. Is it legal for me, as a landlord, to tell a potential Russian tenant to sod off? Or is that racist act the prerogative only of sporting bodies?
"The world" is a massively sweeping statement, I have no issues at all with the Russian people in general, in fact only this morning on a public amateur radio web page, I went out of my way to be inclusive to a Russian amateur, as it was embarrasingly obvious he was being deliberately shunned.
If there's a significant risk of these events being used to further the Kremlin's propaganda then it's ultimately up to the host nation to make a decision about whether they want to be seen to be essentially allowing it.
Considering it's already happened in other sporting events it's just not worth the time dealing with the psyops.

Real shame about the steel plant. Azov regiment could have hunkered down there and launched guerilla attacks for years to come if it was properly stocked to the brim with ammo and provisions.
