File photoMOSCOW, June 14The soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, blocked at the Azot plant, can save their lives only if they surrender, said Lieutenant Colonel of the People's Militia of the Luhansk People's Republic Andriy Marochko on the Rossiya 24 TV channel. ;…> Those who are now at the Azot enterprise found themselves between a rock and a hard place: on the one hand, they are propped up by our units, on the other, there are detachments. <…> Therefore, the only correct way out, which the military personnel who are on the territory of the enterprise can do is to surrender. At least they will save their lives. Otherwise, they will be liquidated,» he said. ed4c43e055080ba958c8856fd3ce1fa6.jpg» />The Ukrainian military cannot leave Severodonetsk, Basurin Marochko said. He also refuted the statements of the Ukrainian authorities about plans to evacuate civilians from Azot. He stressed that people at the enterprise are actually in the position of hostages.
"Ukraine is now trying to agree on how to evacuate these people to the territory under its control, but I want to note that this is absolutely untrue, since just yesterday the last bridge was blown up by Ukrainian nationalists", — explained the Lieutenant Colonel of the People's Militia.
According to him, for the safe evacuation of people, it is necessary to open “green corridors” towards Svatovo, but Ukraine is trying to bargain under the guise of civilians. The head of the Luhansk regional military administration, Serhiy Gaidai, appointed by Kyiv, said the day before that about 500 residents remained at Azot, from 40 of them are children. At the same time, according to the LPR Ambassador to Russia, Rodion Miroshnik, there are about 300-400 Ukrainian soldiers at the enterprise blocked by the allied forces. :12InfographicMap of the special operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine as of 06/13/2022InfographicViewThe battles for Severodonetsk have been going on since the beginning of May.
