    The Russians have been offering surrender this entire time. When they say "extraction" do they mean some sort of 80s movie-style rescue attempt? What are these women asking for?

      Asking for a tunnel to be dug from Fuhrerbunker to Azovstal.

      They want to come out of the tunnels but not give up their arms or surrender, but instead keep fighting. Russia not letting them do this is basically genocide.

        I mean they can come out with their weapons and keep fighting if they want... I simply imagine the DPR and Russian troops may elect to fight back. Which is of course, as you say, genocide.

      Azov leaders have been calling for “a new Dunkirk” and want a NATO-lead evacuation to save them. They are completely deluded, and so are their wives apparently

        Okay, so they really are just asking NATO to intervene. It's not that Russia rescinded their offer to accept surrender or anything, they're literally saying "please send foreign troops to rescue our husbands who refuse to surrender."

        I get that it's part of the information war, but how is it that western media is being allowed to feign total ignorance of how a war works? It's driving me insane. I found the piece and read it and I'm still confused.
