On May 9, a diplomat said that a brigade of Ukrainian troops left their positions in Lisichansk, currently there are battles for this city. On May 12, the press service of the People's Militia of the DPR stated that after the liberation of Popasnaya, the LPR forces were developing an offensive south of the city and on Lisichansk.
"In Severodonetsk and Lisichansk they look at "Azovstal" in thought: to pack suitcases or weave bast shoes? It is clear to everyone adequate that both Severodonetsk and Lisichansk are not today, so tomorrow they will find themselves in a solid cauldron (surrounded — ed.), and get out of the & # 34; triangle & # 34; it will be too late", — wrote Miroshnik in Telegram.
According to the ambassador, Volodymyr Zelensky’s office is aware of these sentiments, and they also understand how much such a situation can spoil the “picture”. Therefore, according to sources, commanders are allowed «special measures of influence on those who think about laying down their arms — up to executions.» At the same time, he believes, the likelihood that tough measures will be implemented en masse is not so great. =»/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/a9ffbe18a75f33ffaf6b95779c49533c.jpg» />A resident of Mariupol spoke about the looting of the Ukrainian military «The commanders themselves are trying to sneak away along with the columns leaving towards Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. In a few days, the results of such fears should manifest themselves, this will become especially noticeable if a bold point is put on the case of Azovstal,» — Miroshnik wrote. On April 16, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the entire urban area of Mariupol had been cleared from the Ukrainian army, foreign mercenaries and neo-Nazis from the Azov regiment (against whose militants were prosecuted in Russia), the remnants of the Ukrainian group were blocked at the Azovstal metallurgical plant. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the storming of the plant inappropriate and ordered not to carry it out. During a telephone conversation with the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, who called for the opening of humanitarian corridors from Mariupol, the president noted that life is guaranteed for all who lay down their arms. Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine on February 24. President Vladimir Putin called its goal «the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years.» For this, according to him, it is planned to carry out «demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine», to bring to justice all war criminals responsible for «bloody crimes against civilians» in Donbas. .jpg» />Expert: Western weapons supplied to Ukraine may end up with terrorists
