Ukrainian authorities have said that all civilians were evacuated from Azovstal: women, children and the elderly.

However, Ukrainian servicemen still remain on the territory of the enterprise, defending themselves despite the fierce Russian offensive. Dozens of missiles are fired at them in just one day, dozens of air raids are carried out and constant mortar shelling is carried out.

In front of their eyes, their brothers die of gangrene every day. There is a threat of an epidemic of infectious diseases. The Ukrainian military at Azovstal is preparing to die if the Ukrainian side and international organizations do not agree on the withdrawal of the Mariupol garrison from the city in the event of a ceasefire.

According to the fighters, the authorities are procrastinating with their help, forgetting that they were the ones who removed civilians from Azovstal during the evacuation. We spoke with Sviatoslav Palamar, Deputy Commander of the Azov Regiment, about the current situation at the plant, expectations from the authorities and the future of the defenders of Mariupol.
