The commander of the Vostok battalion of the DPR, Alexander Khodakovsky, reports that before leaving Azovstal, the militants smash their mobile phones and laptops. In his Telegram channel, he noted that they are accumulating in the territory that is still being left under their control and are preparing to leave.
But in front of the DPR fighters, the militants are smashing their phones, tablets and laptops. “Prudent,” Khodakovsky stressed.
On May 17, the commander of the “East” already wrote that the militants began to leave the dungeons of “Azovstal”. At the same time, he noted that “by analogy with the Ilyich plant, they will try to destroy equipment, including telephones, and weapons, so that we do not get it.”
On Wednesday, the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin said that the commanders of the highest-level Ukrainian militants remain at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol. According to him, they haven’t come out yet. Before that, the official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Major General Igor Konashenkov, said that 694 militants had surrendered over the past day. Among them are 29 wounded. A total of 959 militants have surrendered since May 16, including 80 wounded.
