The assault on Azovstal frustrates Russia's plans
British intelligence emphasizes that the Russian military has been storming the Azovstal metallurgical plant for several days in a row. At the same time, Russia notes that there is no talk of any assault. It is only about blocking the plant.
But everyone understands perfectly well that it is very important for Russia to seize Azovstal. This means that the aggressor country managed to take Mariupol under full control. Hence, it will be at least some kind of victory on May 9th. And this will allow Vladimir Putin to boast, albeit symbolic, but of an achievement in the war against Ukraine.
At the same time, British intelligence understands that the relevant forces have a negative impact on the Russian army. It is not only losing its staff, but also equipment and ammunition.
While Ukrainian resistance continues in Azovstal, Russian losses continue to grow and disrupt their operational plans in the south of Donbass, – the intelligence emphasizes.

The infidels are shelling Azovstal with all possible weapons. They use, among other things, naval artillery and aircraft. All in order to knock out our military from the storage facilities of the metallurgical plant or bury them alive under the rubble.
A Crimean Tatar doctor from Mariupol recorded a video message to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. In it, he noted the importance of evacuating people from Azovstal. The husband stressed that there was almost no time left to wait, and the victims were dying of purulent wounds.
In the morning report of the General Staff on May 6, it was reported that Azovstal was again beaten from enemy aircraft. The infidels are doing everything possible to control the territory of the plant, and with it the whole Mariupol.
