Polyansky commented on a New York Times Twitter post: “Ukraine has completed its ‘war mission’ in Mariupol” and the fighters are being evacuated, “marking the end of the war at the steelworks.”
“I didn’t know there were so many ways to convey a simple English message: The Azov Nazis surrendered unconditionally,” Polyansky said.
“Shouldn’t Be Changed”
State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin said at a plenary session that Nazi criminals should not be exchanged, they are war criminals and Russia is doing everything to bring them to justice.
“Remember that, unlike the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Ukrainian authorities, our country is doing everything to ensure that wounded prisoners of war are treated humanely, to those who surrender or are captured in the war,” he said.
Volodin instructed the State Duma Committee on Defense and Security to draw up a resolution that would reflect the proposal that the prisoner exchange from Azov is impossible.
Nationalists who took refuge on the territory of the Azovstal plant and surrendered should receive the maximum sentence of life imprisonment, State Duma deputy Sultan Khamzaev told RIA Novosti.
Liberation of Mariupol
In mid-April, the official representative of the Ministry of Defense Igor Konashenkov reported that the entire Mariupol region was cleared of the Ukrainian army, foreign mercenaries and neo-Nazis from the Azov regiment. The remains of the Ukrainian group were blocked at the Azovstal metallurgical plant. Vladimir Putin described the attack on the plant as inappropriate and ordered the closure of the industrial zone.
Since February 24, Russia has been conducting a special military operation to demilitarize and de-Nazis Ukraine. Putin listed his goal as “protecting people who have been subjected to eight years of bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime.” According to him, for this it is planned to demilitarize and de-Nazis Ukraine, bring to justice all war criminals responsible for “bloody crimes against civilians” in Donbass.
