Did anyone in azov ever attack russia?
Even after russia invaded Ukraine to steal territory in 2014 and illegally occupied that Ukrainian territory for 8 years?
Or even threaten to do so?
Or even have the ability to do so?
Or did they send mean tweets?

I can understand why Mariupol wasn't top priority at the start of the war. Ukraine needed to make sure Kyiv was defended before they could start focusing on other parts of the country.
By the time Kyiv's safey was assured it was pretty much impossible to get anything into Mariupol.
Exactly.
Their rope a dope strategy worked brilliantly, and resulted in russia being soundly defeated in most of the country, including Kiev, but by the time Ukraine was ready to start really fighting back it was too late to save Marioupol.
For now.
Yet everyone knew that Ukraine was in an absolute desperate situation at the time, and was rushing in foreign volunteers to units that weren't prepared for them, and were on the front lines desperately holding back the massive russian force in any way they could.
Not sure what it will take to convince people that Putin and Zelensky are the same and by supporting either side you are by extension supporting the destruction of Ukranian civilians.
Why Turkey, why not Kyiv.

There's a city in Russia called Azov, but also the part of the Black Sea between Crimea and Russia is called the Azov. I think that's where the group got it's name from, but I'm not sure to be honest.

There is a lot media isn't showing us from the conflict in the Ukrainian conflict. When it comes to this conflict the only innocent are the civilians.
The Ukrainian government is not innocent.
If they were trying to exchange them for food, why would they have let them leave as soon as the Russian allowed it?

They didn't. In fact, the first 25 escaped on their own.
Haven't you watched any of the testimonies from the escaped hostages?

Have you come up with even a single way that Ukraine threatened russia prior to russia's invasion yet?
Been asking for 2 months, doesn't anyone have even a single example of what russia claimed for so long and used as 'justification' for invading Ukraine again.

I take it that you can't come up with a single way that Ukraine posed any threat to russia prior to russia invading then?
Not a single one?
