Arestovich said that “Azov” will not surrender/Collage of Channel 24
Aleksey Arestovich responded to Vladimir Putin's proposal that the Azov regiment surrender. He stressed that this would not happen.
Our military in Azovstal hold out and go out on sorties. The Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President stated this at a briefing, Channel 24 reports.
Ukraine is making great diplomatic efforts to influence the situation in Mariupol. Today, April 26, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Kremlin head Vladimir Putin discussed the subject of blockade of the city.
The aggressor cynically stated that there was no longer any resistance in Mariupol and offered the Ukrainian defenders to surrender. Like, the best thing that Kyiv can do is give the military such a command.
But our military, of course, will not go to such a disgrace. In addition, there is no faith in the skillful treatment of Russians with our military in the rear. We remember Ilovaisk,” Arestovich stressed.
The main thing about the situation in Mariupol
- Fighters of the Azov regiment and marines have been in blockade since March. Despite the lack of supplies of food and weapons, they heroically resist the invaders.
- Together with the military, there are about a thousand civilians at the Azovstal plant. Among them are children, women and the elderly. They have not seen sunlight for two months and did not breathe fresh air.
- They cannot evacuate people and wounded soldiers because infidels shell the plant every day. On April 25 alone, they carried out 35 airstrikes against Azovstal.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky said that now, unfortunately, it is impossible to release Mariupol by military means.
