Azov militants who expect to leave Azovstal ask not to take photos and videos of their surrender
The surrender of the militants of the nationalist regiment "Azov" * (an extremist formation banned in Russia), which began yesterday evening, is being held captive at Azovstal. According to information coming from the scene, the next groups are ready to leave under a white flag, but only on one condition - the fact of surrender will not be recorded on photo and video equipment.
According to the commander of the Vostok battalion, Alexander Khodakovsky, at present, another group of militants ready to surrender is waiting to exit to the surface through a tunnel controlled by the battalion's soldiers. According to him, the "Azovites" set a condition not to film the very moment of their surrender.
- he said.
Meanwhile, a number of Telegram channels report that the accounts of the Azov militants* have begun to be actively deleted on the Web, apparently the “prisoners” are actively erasing videos, photos and other materials posted on social networks that indicate their belonging to the National Battalion and nationalist movements before being taken prisoner. . It will not be surprising if only cooks and drivers come out of the dungeons of Azovstal, even weapon "not held in hands." However, as they say, the Internet remembers everything, so erasing accounts will not help.
In turn, Kyiv continues to assert that the surrender of "Azovites" is not such, but the "evacuation" of personnel is taking place in accordance with the assigned combat mission. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a "rescue operation" is underway.
