With recent specifics. <'Western' media are nothing but Zelenski regime megaphones. Liveuamap @Liveuamap - 21:30 UTC · May 16, 2022 Zelensky confirms Azovstal troops evacuation: «Ukraine needs Ukrainian heroes alive. This has been our principle» liveuamap.com New York Times @nytimes - 22:59 UTC · May 16, 2022 Breaking News: Ukraine ended its “combat mission” in Mariupol and said fighters were being evacuated, signaling that the battle at a steel plant was over. link---CNN International @cnni - 23:39 UTC · May 16, 2022 Ukrainian forces say they have ended their "combat mission" in besieged Mariupol, as hundreds are evacuated from the Azovstal steel plant. t.co @Reuters - 3:35 AM · May 17, 2022 Ukraine's military said it was working to evacuate all remaining troops from their last stronghold in the besieged port of Mariupol, ceding control of the city to Russia after months of bombardment t.co the false headline down the Washington Post report on the issue is a master piece of propaganda: Ukraine ends bloody battle for Mariupol, evacuates Azovstal fighters Ukrainian fighters have ended their weeks-long defense of a besieged steel plant in the strategic port city of Mariupol, as hundreds of combatants — dozens of them seriously wounded — were evacuated from the complex Monday.One has to read beyond 323 words of falsehood to find out, down in paragraph 7, what really has happened. Moscow hasn’t yet publicly responded to the developments in Mariupol, which were described by Russian state media as an order from Ukrainian military command for its troops to “surrender.”Ukraine’s deputy defense minister, Anna Malyar, said 53 seriously wounded soldiers were taken to a hospital in Novoazovsk, a nearby town which is controlled by Russian-backed separatists. Another 211 were transported to another Russian-aligned village, Olenivka, she said. Moscow and Kyiv are brokering a prisoner swap to secure their release. Malyar said officials were still working to rescue the remaining soldiers, though it is unclear how many are still inside. Ukrainian authorities said last week there were nearly 1,000 holdout fighters in the plant. The f***ers finally gave up and surrendered unconditionally to the Russian forces as their only alternative was to decease within the next hours or days. I am sure that the Russian authorities will apply a fine filter to determine who of those prisoners of war are allegeable for war crime prosecutions, de-nazification and a long stay in some north Siberian road builder camp. There are also rumors of NATO personnel presence in the Azovstal catacombs. They will likely get to know the cellars of the famous Lubyanka building in Moscow before being exchanged in this or that deal with their home countries. The rest will eventually be exchanged for Russian soldiers who are unfortunately held by the Ukrainian military.> moonofalabama.org
