Russian soldiers had hoped for a swift victory in Mykolaiv, a key staging post for control of the Black Sea, and the eventual assault on Odesa, Ukraines largest port and home to the countrys navy. Their hopes have been dashed.
They encountered an obstinate resistance, typical of the countrys determination to prevail against the odds. Residents of the historic city have fought back to force President Putins troops to retreat from the airport that they seized over the weekend.
As shells flew over the city yesterday, General Dmytro Marchenko, of Ukraines Armed Forces, was undaunted by the prospect that the Russians would return. The enemy were leaving bodies of their dead where they fell, he said. Its unpleasant to say this but their corpses are food for stray dogs, he told The Times yesterday. Were not able to retrieve them because of continuing Russian fire in those areas.
He vowed that his men would kill ten Russians for each civilian killed in the battle for Mykolaiv, northeast of Odesa. We know who these people are, he added. We have a vast amount of intelligence, including much from our American partners, that consists of photos where we can see faces. We can see when those guys go for a piss.
We guarantee we wont shoot any Russian soldiers who give up, he added. Also, we guarantee that no harm will come to Russian tank crews if they come toward our lines with their main guns turned away from us. If they have committed crimes, they will be tried but they will be alive. The rest of them will become dog food.

This will make them nervous, if they are hearing him.
