“We are witnessing Russian crimes,” Samoylenko said, adding, “giving up is not an option because Russia has no interest in living.”

It is the Azov Regiment that is cited as evidence of Ukraine’s alleged Nazification of the invasion. “We need to be given an adequate chance to evacuate,” said Deputy Commander Sviatoslav Palamar.
–
Regiment members said they had no way to get out of the siege without the help of the authorities, because they were a hundred kilometers away from the front. They feel that the government has left them.

Samoylenko also criticized the defeatism of Ukrainian politicians from areas in the south of the country: “We are doing our job and we are doing it well. Some politicians are not doing it well. “According to him, in the first month of fighting, the regiment killed more than 2,500 Russian soldiers:” We have shown that anything is possible, please do your job so we can teach people how to do the impossible. “

The evacuation saved few residents
Samoylenko criticized that the Ukrainian government is celebrating the evacuation of dozens of civilians, which did not have to happen if it was preparing for the inevitable war that killed many people. “The government has allowed 25,000 people to do so,” the commander said, citing an estimated number of civilians from the port who had died in the war.
–
The evacuation of 173 people from steel mills, allegedly the last group of civilians, was confirmed on Sunday.
–
Palamar also criticized the politicians’ statements: “Another thing that hurts is that the politicians said – you are continuing (fighting) while we are evacuating civilians. But we are defending people here. “
–
Several attempts at evacuation were canceled by the Russians because, according to them, the defenders violated the agreed ceasefire. It follows from Palamar’s words that this probably happened, but he did not specify the reason. It is probable that Russian troops wanted to use the armistice to advance inside the ironworks.
