Members of Ukraine’s Azov battalion trapped inside Mariupol’s Azovstal steel plant have said they fear they will be executed if captured by Russian forces, as they pleaded with Ukrainian authorities to help arrange their extraction.
Speaking to the media from inside the besieged steelworks, an Azov commander and lieutenant, looking gaunt and pale, said they had defended the city for the people of Ukraine and the rest of the world and needed a third party to negotiate their exit whether by land or sea.
There are believed to be 2,000 soldiers in the plant, 700 of whom are said to be injured.
No wonder Freeland is in Ukraine!
