The Right Sector says that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are capable of holding Mariupol, but are afraid of a knife in the back from Poroshenko
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have sufficiently powerful forces to contain the DPR militias and prevent them from capturing Mariupol. However, the loss of Mariupol is likely due to the actions of politicians in Kyiv.

“We need forces to take this city. Here every house can be a fortress, a defensive line. It is difficult to take Mariupol by military force. It is possible to beat our government politically in order to wrest some preferences for themselves, but they have now taken this path. The main thing for us here is not to lose politically. If they want to attack, let them advance. “I believe that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have enough forces and means to contain and inflict huge losses on them,” he said.
The battalion commander-pravosek also stated that despite the announced withdrawal of DUK PS units from the demarcation line, Yarosh’s comrades-in-arms still will not leave the front line.
The “Right Sector,” according to the Minsk agreements, is called an “illegal armed formation” and we were forced to leave. Although our presence at the front is still there and will be there. We do not want to advertise this so as not to harm the peace negotiations that are taking place between the President of the country and the European Union. And they took this step so as not to interfere with these negotiations. At the same time, it is not clear to us why the official units “Donbass” and “Azov” are being withdrawn,” said Andrei Cherven.
A representative of the Right Sector once again called the decision to withdraw volunteer battalions from Shirokino “criminal.”
“People who fought for a year, were in battle every day, have knowledge, and what is important, an understanding of the situation, which is needed more than ever on the front line. Therefore, the situation with the withdrawal of volunteer battalions is incomprehensible to me. I consider it criminal. As for the demilitarization of Shirokino, then, probably, this is in the process of negotiations, peaceful - the right step. This zone must be freed from militants, from war, but the enemy, Putin, cannot be trusted. You shouldn't believe a single word he says. We must be prepared for the worst,” said the battalion commander of the Right Sector DUK.
