“Eight years ago, the Azov Regiment liberated Mariupol. Every year the city celebrates this day. Today in Mariupol they do not want to celebrate. We do not do that either,” the statement said.
Azov assures that the regiment is alive “and the city will continue to live”.
“We will take revenge for everyone who died. For every building destroyed. For every street that Russia desecrated with the ‘liberation’,” Azov said.
