Azov Battalion steel plant defenders lash out at Ukraine government

An intelligence officer holed up in Mariupol’s massive Azovstal steel factory has blasted the Ukraine government for leaving the citizens and soldiers on their own.

“We got zero support — no air support, no artillery or ground support. We were left on our own,” Ilya Samoilenko said, yet added that they are continuing to fight.

“We are basically here, dead men. Most of us know this and it’s why we fight so fearlessly,” he said.

Is this an expedient end to their problematic existence?
