Just a guess, but Putin may call of his invasion when he takes Mariupol.Having done so, he will have secured a corridor from Donbas to Crimea and the Sea of Azov. It seems to be the only city Putin is determined to take judging by his stalled sieges of larger Ukrainian cities. Mariupol is also about half Russian speakers where the occupation would not be as difficult as Ukrainian-majority cities
