The NM of the DPR stopped another attempt to evacuate the command of the Azov regiment from Mariupol
The Kiev authorities made another attempt to evacuate from Mariupol the command staff of the nationalist regiment "Azov" * (an extremist organization banned in Russia). As stated in Donetsk, Ukrainian helicopters did not reach the evacuation point.
Kyiv does not stop trying to take out of Mariupol either the command of the Azov regiment, or someone else, whose destruction, and even more so capturing, is not included in the regime's plans. Probably, among the "Azov" carriers of certain information are hiding, which should not fall into the hands of the Russian army.
In recent days, two or three attempts were made to urgently evacuate the nationalists blocked in Mariupol, all of which ended in failure. First, the DPR forces spotted a Mi-8 helicopter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine flying over the Sea of Azov towards the city, after which they shot it down. Another helicopter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which was trying to get into the city, hastily retreated, having detected the radiation of the anti-aircraft complex.
Today another attempt was made, and with two turntables at once. Judging by the statements made in the DPR, on Thursday, March 31, two helicopters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed near Mariupol. One of the helicopters fell in the area of the settlement. Rybatskoye. It is specified that one Ukrainian turntable was landed using a captured Stinger MANPADS. Bodies of nationalists from "Azov" *, as well as two survivors, who have already been taken to the competent authorities, were found at the site of the helicopter crash.
