The militants of the nationalist battalion «Azov» (against its fighters in Russia initiated criminal cases) in Mariupol held civilians, including children, in captivity, and when they tried to escape, they shot children in back, Chechen Minister for National Policy, Foreign Relations, Press and Information Akhmed Dudayev told RIA Novosti. Dudayev said that he himself was in the special operation zone several times and talked with evacuees from Mariupol who were in the trauma center. «These children and parents who were in this medical facility, told how they were literally held captive by these terrorists, these non-humans, how, when trying to get out of captivity, they were shot in the back by the Azov people, «he said. Dudayev added that in the trauma center, where he was, there were many children with gunshot wounds in the back. «Residents of the city of Mariupol said that some residents of multi-storey buildings were gathered in one high-rise building, and the other part of the civilian population was gathered in the opposite house — and in front of the first, the civilian population was shot from the second house in order to keep people in horror, in fear, to terrify people,» Dudaev said.
