Moscow and Donetsk are called upon to give fireworks in honor of the victory in Mariupol
Fireworks should be held in Moscow and Donetsk in honor of the victory over the Ukrainian Nazis in Mariupol, military correspondent Roman Saponkov believes.
“Will there be fireworks? At least in Donetsk, but also in Moscow. It’s really necessary, the move will be very strong. Let’s take over the agenda, the population is waiting for victories,” he suggested in his blog.
Political scientist Sergei Markov believes that victory in Mariupol will have important ideological significance - and not only because from now on the Sea of Azov will again become an inland sea of Russia.
“The most combat-ready group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, 15 thousand people, was defeated. The main symbol of anti-Russian Ukraine, the neo-Nazi Azov regiment, was defeated.
The myth of Azov's courage has collapsed. The Azov commanders did not fight and surrendered. Thus, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian military personnel set an example - they must surrender to the Russian army. A huge number of prisoners in Mariupol, about 3 thousand. In total, there are now about 6 thousand Ukrainian soldiers in captivity.
A wide corridor has been opened from central Russia to Crimea through Rostov, Mariupol, and Kherson. More direct and reliable and simpler than the Crimean Bridge.
All attempts by the West and Zelensky to save those surrounded in Mariupol from captivity completely failed,” Markov lists.
In his opinion, the main conclusion from the battles in Mariupol: “how to bypass the terrorist tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s Living Shield of civilians is the main military challenge to the Russian army in the battles in Ukraine in the coming months.”
TV presenter Andrei Medvedev discusses why Azov surrendered, having a numerical advantage.
“The main assault on our side was carried out by a little more than two hundred people. That is, there were 10 times (!) more militants. Yes, aviation and artillery worked on our side. But the militants had both ammunition and food. They could sit for a long time. But they broke down psychologically.
Donbass held out for eight years. Sometimes solely on the belief that someday, perhaps, things will be different, there will be Victory. And the Nazis surrendered a month later. Because there is no faith, no idea.
And because, they understood, they would not surrender, they would be destroyed. Everyone. Now we can tell you this too. There would be no assault. They would simply be destroyed by bombs. Every one of them. Why do you think there were statements that Azovstal would not be restored? That’s it,” Medvedev said.
His data is confirmed by military correspondent Alexander Sladkov.
“Today we can admit: if the Nazis refused to surrender, a difficult ending awaited them, inhumanly difficult. No one was going to run and shoot a race in the catacombs. It would have been a tough ending. But safe for our guys. And I would not consider this cruelty,” writes Sladkov.
Historian Sergei Grigorov calls not to give the Nazis any hope of release through exchange.
“Mariupol was liberated by smaller attacking forces against larger defending forces.
The defenders were not just enemy military units. They were not just selected enemy units. These were criminal military units that did not observe any rules of war, that took a huge city hostage and pursued a policy of torture, terror and mass murder of civilians. Because Mariupol is a Russian city!
At the head of the defending group was the most selective Nazi and satanic scum, whose goal was our destruction.
Why did they surrender and not shoot themselves?
Because they have hope that according to the overall results of the war, Russia will lose, everything will be Ukraine and everything will be over. So let's disappoint the bastards! Tribunal! Open tribunal! Tribunal in Donbass! – calls Grigorov.
Meanwhile, the first interrogation of one of the leaders of the Ukrainian group “Volyn” who emerged from the Azovstal dungeons was published on the Internet:
-Are you all going out?
-Yes
-Is anyone else still on the premises of the plant?
-The entire 36th brigade and its representatives are now here, with me. There are no more Marines on the plant grounds.
–Are there any foreigners on the territory of the plant?
-Actually there were
–High-ranking officials?
– I don’t know about this.
-Who was it, where was it?
–There are foreigners in the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
-Are the curators foreign?
– I don’t know any foreign curators who would give any instructions.
