War in ukraine Donetsk

Since the start of the war, Kiev has recruited 6,824 foreign mercenaries from 63 countries to fight in Ukraine. 1,500 of the fighters are from the USA, Canada & Romania. The largest group was 1,717 from Poland. About 300 fighters from the UK.

Around 400 foreigners are at the #Azovstal plant that is now being bombed. It is alleged that Azov shot some who tried to surrender. Video evidence seems to support this claim.

Russia gave them a fair chance to surrender. Russia sent urgent messages to Ukrainian forces at Azovstal continuously throughout the night to surrender, broadcast on all AFU radio channels.

They were promised the same safety given to the previous 1,400 who surrendered. RU also fired projectiles containing instructions for surrender.

There have been many reports, including some from Ukrainian soldiers themselves, that the Azov extremists at Azovstal would shoot any soldiers who tried to surrender.

I guess that suicide is the ultimate expression of "Slava Ukraina".
