This information, with reference to the Dnepr-1 battalion, was disseminated by the Azov Region Public Television, thus refuting the data of the National Security and Defense Council, which claims that the city is completely under the control of the ATO forces.
The National Security and Defense Council stated that they are holding the city and also strengthening the defense of Mariupol. As journalist Andrey Tsaplienko reported on his Facebook page, a column of Ukrainian armored vehicles arrived in Mariupol to help the ATO forces located there. Tsaplienko noted that the column of armored vehicles that arrived in Mariupol “glitters in the sun and looks like new.”
As Navigator reported, the DPR militia announced in the afternoon that the ATO forces had left Novoazovsk, surrendering the city without a fight.
