What happened in Mariupol?
Here is an interview with a representative of the press center of the Donetsk People's Republic Pavel Purishev.
- Pavel, Mariupol fell, it turns out, or is there only a few buildings occupied there?
- Fighters of the National Guard today organized a large-scale punitive operation ... As such, the headquarters on the Greek and Italian streets no longer exist - it was captured by the fighters of the National Guard.
- That is, the Ukrainian military entered Mariupol and are trying to gain a foothold there?
- Yes. They staged a real massacre in the city. They struck with guns ... with mortars, with grenade launchers. The battle went on for a very long time, a lot of wounded, there are those killed by the Donetsk People's Republic. I don't know the National Guard data, I know that about 12 guys died in our country.
- What will be the further development of events? We saw several times during the confrontation of the southeast with the government, when the army tried to storm the city, but rolled back ...
- If before the police came or our, for example, border guards, that is, from the city of Mariupol, now punitive detachments have arrived. They are not formed in Mariupol, they are not our military, they are military from western Ukraine. That is, Ukrainian speech is heard everywhere, and even English, American speech. How would people be very afraid of this. They already shoot to kill and they no longer care who you are. For them, you are a separatist and a terrorist and they will shoot, even if there is a grandmother, even a young guy, they don’t care, even if he will be without weapons.
- Well, the militia are doomed then?
- No, not doomed. We hope for help, we hope for a solution to this situation, but now at the moment I see this punitive operation ... I don’t know what will happen next ... There is a government of the Donetsk People’s Republic and what actions it will take, I don’t know yet. I do not have this information. (http://mariupol-life.com.ua)
But the information from the site http://www.0629.com.ua, also Mariupol.

Early this morning, the entire personnel of the Mariupol militia was raised in alarm.
About this 0629 reported in the Mariupol GU Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in the Donetsk region.
Militiamen took part in special operation together with internal troops of Ukraine. They cordoned off the city center and do not let anyone into the zone of active operations. How the residents go there, they don’t know in the city government.
According to information on 09.30, until now the perimeter of the anti-terrorist operation was cordoned off by police. The protection of order in the zone of special operations will be provided until further notice.

The management of enterprises entered the position of people living in the city center, and decided not to punish those who did not go to work in connection with the anti-terrorist operation.
As reported by 0629 in the Department of Public Relations and Municipal Development in Mariupol Metinvest Group, the employees of the Azovstal plant and them. Ilyich, who live in the area of the ATO and, due to objective circumstances, could not arrive at workplaces, this will not be counted as absenteeism, ”the report says.
The enterprises work in a regular mode.

Now on Grecheskaya Street, where the DPR headquarters used to be located, work is underway to clear the area from the barricades. Several cranes are working at once.
As it became known, the equipment of “Metinvest” and employees of Azovstal and them are working at the site. Ilyich. Also locals joined in the analysis of the barricades.
Also from the street they take the BRDM that was burning today, which has been here practically since the first days of the formation of the DPR headquarters.
Here is a chronicle.
What causes bewilderment: YES ALL. There are a lot of questions.
1. How did the National Guard enter cheerfully into the city and take up the conduct of the ATO?
It turns out that there were no checkpoints, no observations, no alerts, nothing.
2. Why did the militia of Mariupol, raised in alarm, take up the cordon of the center?
It turns out that the militia of the NPT itself, the police themselves, right? Who then gave the police command? City Hall? Then which side is she on?
3. What forces did the DPR have in Mariupol, if during 5 hours the city was completely taken under control by the forces of two battalions?
Strange war. “Enterprises work in a normal mode”, transport goes (it was reported that some routes in the area of the ATO are temporarily not working), residents who did not go to work because of the ATO “will not be punished”.
Was there ever a DNI in Mariupol? Or Greek and Italian streets - that's all that controlled the NPT?
The half-million city that seems to have voted for the NPT, which seems to be part of the NPT, turns out to be not in the NPT?
And where? With whom? For whom?
Unclear.
It seems that the presence of the DPR militia in the city just put up. Do not interfere - and right. Ukroarmiya came, knocked out of the city - also nothing. Calmly remove everything and continue to live in peace.
But “Military Review”:

Guys! Mariupol surrendered .... local militiamen except for a couple of dozen fled home ..... A woman writes me from there, ..... Everywhere Ukrainian flags ............. From our information really no! From Avakov and Lyashko laudatory speeches! Poroshenko transfers the Administration of Donetsk to Mariupol .................... We rent the Southeast slowly ?????

What kind of alarmism? This is a war. On it are retreats and offensive. they only captured the militia headquarters. The militia retreated.
FREGATENKAPITAN SU Today, 17: 16
Only here it is ugly like that ..... Inscriptions on asphalt appeared - Azov-Our Glory! (in the sense of Lyashkovsky murderers) ...... Where are those almost 100% voted in the referendum ???? Steel boiled? In the mines? Earn money that is paid by * to * rops ???
Strange things are going on in the DNI. Unclear. Too many questions and too few clever answers.
There is a feeling that the gentlemen of the leaders of the south-east (Tsarev, Rogov, Pushilin and others), saying that the whole Donbass "rose against the Kiev junta" to put it mildly ... expressed wishful thinking. I don’t know for what purpose.
I observe only that while they ride on business trips to Russia, ukroarmiya captures airports and cities. And does not give back. Capture and kill DPR officials. Arrange terrorist attacks.
Maybe we should follow the example of Igor Strelkov, who has no time to play political toys? But whom the entire Ukrainian army cannot knock out from Slavyansk?
