The Donetsk battalion "Somalia", which participated in the assault on "Azovstal", leaves Mariupol

81

The legendary Donetsk battalion "Somalia", which participated in the assault on the industrial zone "Azovstal", leaves Mariupol. Semyon Pegov from the WarGonzo project announced this on his Telegram channel.


"Somalis" completed the assault operation in Mariupol and are leaving the city. It was this battalion, together with the fighters of the Chechen special forces, that formed the basis of the assault detachments fighting directly on the territory of Azovstal. The command for redeployment came after the statement by the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense Sergei Shoigu about the complete liberation of the city and Vladimir Putin's command to cancel the assault on Azovstal. It is not yet known where the battalion is being transferred.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered to stop the assault on the industrial zone so as not to waste people, and to block the territory of Azovstal with the Azov militants stationed there * (an extremist formation, banned in Russia) so that "a fly does not fly."

According to analysts, this decision was made not only because of the desire to save as many lives of our soldiers as possible, but also to free up additional forces involved in the assault on Azovstal to be transferred to other sectors of the front before the start of a large-scale offensive.

Most likely, instead of storming the industrial zone, bombing and processing by artillery will continue. Up to 2,5 militants and foreign mercenaries may be on the territory of Azovstal, many of them wounded. In addition, according to reports from those who surrendered, the nationalists are running out of food and water.

      guys with combat experience are needed in the area of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbone of the main strikes. That's the whole truth of stopping the assault on Azovstal. The main thing is that the units remaining in Mariupol do not get tipsy from Shoigu's words about the liberation of Mariupol.

    Maybe, maybe ... but I do not exclude that the Azov people and the remnants of the marines of the Naval Forces of Ukraine, "encouraged" by such news, will try to break out and leave Azovstal, since there is definitely nothing for them but death ... And there ... Neither who did not go anywhere, far away.

      I agree, all the more so there you can go by sea in small size or inflatables, along the coast towards the Crimea. Or in the holds of ships leaving the port. And then look for them there. From the sea, a complete blocking and inspection of all ships leaving the port is necessary.

    Most likely, instead of storming the industrial zone, bombing and processing by artillery will continue
    It is not known what will happen next, but stopping the assault right before the start is Putin's way. Perhaps this decision leaves Putin, the West and Zelensky the opportunity to continue the bargaining called "negotiations". Moreover, there has been a lot of talk lately about the fact that the operation in Ukraine will be brought to an “end”, but what this “end” is is silent. The ultimate political goals are incomprehensible, because behind the abstract word "denazification" no specific political goals are visible.

    What did I read? The basis was Somalia and Chechens? It's not nice to write so inaccurately. All well done, but the basis was the 810th brigade of marines of the Russian Federation, the 9th regiment (actually a brigade) of the MP DPR, the 384th OMRP Special Forces, Somalia and part of the 11th OMS (Vostok).
    In fact, the transfer - Somalia, of course, is more needed on the southern flank of the encirclement. But the cancellation of the assault ... If they just block and wait, then this is an obvious defeatist agreement, if they block and bomb, then this is correct.

    A strange feeling from such a decision of the Supreme. It is not his order to get involved in resolving issues on which it is clearer on the spot what to do. What's wrong here

    According to analysts, this decision was made not only because of the desire to save as many lives of our fighters as possible ...

    They will die anyway, but it is not clear why those who now, like rats on their shells, are sitting in the catacombs of Azovstal, will remain alive. Apparently, they ruined a little soul.

    The decision must be made by the commander of the campaign, that is, General Dvortnikov. If Putin and Gen. intervened. Shoigu is bad. A very bad, old Bolshevik problem. Let Mr. Dvornik work. am

    Looks like it was not in vain that Makaron cut off Putin’s phone ...
    We will not see who is sitting there in the cellars of Azovstal.

    Quote: Ivan Sviridov
    That is, instead of the city of Mariupol, DNP will acquire a huge field of radioactive gravel.

    Where will the radiation come from if it is just an ordinary concrete-piercing bomb? The main thing is that she went 15-20 m deep and exploded there. In the crater, you can then use the usual FAB. Even if this does not lead to the complete destruction of the tunnels under the entire plant, it will make subsequent life there less comfortable.
