Putin cancels Azovstal assault
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets The Russian president ordered not to risk the lives of Russian soldiers and officers in vain. Azovstal will be blocked so that the “fly does not fly” and the militants remaining on the territory of the industrial zone will be asked to lay down their arms.  Siege is also an effective method of fighting. And one of the oldest. And by the way, the cancellation of the "frontal" assault on Azovstal is not at all the cancellation of air, missile and artillery strikes on Azovstal. The dung workers are now eating their last horseradish without salt in the cellars of Azovstal. And stick your nose out of these cellars are not able to. The leadership of "Azov" - Prokopenko, Palamar, as well as Western instructors, it is desirable for us to take them alive. These are very interesting interlocutors for our investigating authorities. At Azovstal, a silence regime is declared daily from 14:00 to 16:00, all hostilities are completely stopped and humanitarian corridors are opened for the exit of civilians, who allegedly may be on the territory of the plant. But somehow no one uses this mode. If none of the civilians leaves the territory during this time, then either they are not there, or they are held hostage. Mariupol itself, with the exception of part of the plant's territory, has been taken under full control. Via Russia military journalist Boris Rozhin. Here is the text of the meeting between Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin and his defense minister, General Sergey Shoigu, where the news of the siege of Azovstal was announced. All in English.
