A really nice video of how Mariupol was taken. Esp. the 3 cauldrons..😄

One of the prisoners of war who surrendered from Azovstal turned out to be an Azov man who threatened to kill Kadyrov and “let his daughters go around”

The name of the "fearless Ukrainian warrior" is David Georgievich Kasatkin. At the beginning of the special operation, a native of Mariupol, born in 1996 was already listed in the Azov regiment.

In the first days of hostilities, he came across a colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who was responsible for the defense of the coast - Kasatkin shot him. Later, while sitting in the cellars of Azovstal, David wrote an appeal to “Kadyrov and his dogs”, in which he promised to kill the head of Chechnya and “his litter of piglets”, and “let his daughters go around”.

Pushilin said that the tribunal over the nazis who surrendered from Azovstal is inevitable: this is a request from citizens and society

Works on demining "Azovstal" have begun.
After demining, the systematic work of assault groups will begin, which should comb the territory of the plant to check if any of the Nazis or foreigners are hiding in some caches, so that later they can’t quietly escape from Azovstal by changing into civilian clothes.

The Moscow government will provide assistance to the Donetsk People's Republic of the DPR in the restoration of residential buildings and structural enterprises, more than 100.000 people will participate in this work

To sum up Mariupol

Ukro channel

Office of the President will not lift the ban on the departure of conscripts from Ukraine, a new wave of mobilization is being prepared now, and it is important for the General Staff to replenish reserves.

Russia sent the first batch of new equipment to the capital of the Luhansk People's Republic to modernize the gas supply system, the government of the LPR reported on its Telegram channel.

The railway communication of the Donbass republics with the Russian Crimea through the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions will be resumed as soon as possible - speaker of the Crimean parliament Vladimir Konstantinov

“This route was invented not by us, but by our fathers and grandfathers, it is shorter than going, for example, through Krasnodar here. It is already obvious today that the entire economy of southern Russia will develop according to this format. We will use this railway to transport goods, to transport people,” Konstantinov concluded.

For Crimea, this will be another additional source of cargo transportation, the politician added.
