1. Mariupol

   Mariupol (UK: , US: (listen); Ukrainian: Маріу́поль [mɐr⁽ʲ⁾iˈupolʲ] (listen); Russian: Мариу́поль, IPA: [mərʲɪˈupəlʲ]) is a city in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. Since May 2022, Mariupol has been occupied by Russian forces. It is situated on the northern coast (Pryazovia) of the Sea of Azov, at the mouth of the Kalmius River. Prior to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, it was the tenth-largest city in the country and the second-largest city in Donetsk Oblast, with an estimated population of 425,681 people in January 2022, however Ukrainian authorities estimate its current population to be approximately 100,000.Historically, the city of Mariupol was a centre for trade and manufacturing, and played a key role in the development of higher education and many businesses while also serving as a coastal resort on the Sea of Azov. From 1948 to 1989, the city was known as Zhdanov, named after Andrei Zhdanov, a high-ranking official of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union; the name was part of a larger effort to rename cities after high-ranking political figures in the Soviet Union. Mariupol was founded on the site of a former encampment for Cossacks, known as Kalmius, and was granted city rights within the Russian Empire in 1778. It played a key role in the Soviet-era industrialization of Ukraine; it was a centre for grain trade, metallurgy, and heavy engineering—including the Illich Iron and Steel Works and the Azovstal Iron and Steel Works. Beginning on 24 February 2022, the three-month-long siege of Mariupol by Russian forces largely destroyed the city, for which it was given the title "Hero City of Ukraine" by the Ukrainian government. On 16 May 2022, all Ukrainian troops who remained in Mariupol surrendered at Azovstal Iron and Steel Works, as the Russian military secured complete control over the city by 20 May 2022.

Examples of mariupol in a Sentence

1. Olha Matsala:

   Daniil Safonov was Daniil Safonov. Daniil Safonov gave Daniil Safonov life for Ukraine. Daniil Safonov told me Daniil Safonov accepted Daniil Safonov may never return from Mariupol, and I feared that's what happened.

2. Samir Puri:

   It's going to be very different to what people have been seeing in Kyiv and Mariupol, the Ukrainian frontline mixes urban and rural territory... some of the urban territories that Ukraine( will be defending) were already devastated in eight years of shell fire.

3. Sam Cranny-Evans:

   The Southern Military District -- in Donetsk, Luhansk, Mariupol, Berdyansk, Melitopol -- these are the best troops in the Russian army. And they always work. They're designed to fight NATO, so the forces that were committed to the Kyiv encirclement suggests that it was a goal that either Russia thought would be easily achieved, or they overestimated the capabilities of those forces. So that leads, in part, to the conclusion that an encirclement of the Ukrainian troops in the JFO is part of the goal that Russia is looking to achieve. And the movements of Russian forces do seem to suggest that that is the case.

4. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky:

   I’ve talked to the defenders of Mariupol today. I’m in constant contact with them. Their determination, heroism and firmness are astonishing, if only those who have been thinking for 31 days on how to hand over dozens of jets and tanks had 1% of their courage.

5. Oleksiy Arestovych:

   Our military is succeeding there -- yesterday they defeated another attempt at an armored breakthrough in Mariupol, took prisoners of war, but for this the Russians are wiping the city out.
