[REGNUM] Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) launched a missile attack on the headquarters of the Nazi regiment "Azov" (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), located in Mariupol, the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov said on March 4 in his Telegram channel.
According to Kadyrov, an internal conflict that arose due to the refusal of the Nazis to obey the officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine led to the strike with the Tochka-U operational-tactical missile system.
"The Nazis from the Azov gang (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) completely refused to obey the army leadership and coordinate their actions with it. This led to the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a missile attack on the Bandera headquarters in Mariupol," Kadyrov wrote.
"The forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine had to pacify the Nazis in the south-west of Mariupol, and with the use of such a weighty argument as the Tochka-U missile system. As a result, 20 worthless lives of Bandera's followers in this world became less," said the head of Chechnya.
Recall that today Mariupol is almost completely blocked by the Russian military and the People's Militia of the DPR.
Militants hold 6,000 foreigners hostage in Ukraine
[REGNUM] More than 6,000 foreign citizens were held hostage in Ukraine: students and other foreigners cannot go home, the Ukrainian authorities do not let them in. This was announced on March 4 by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin press service reported.
In the course of telephone conversations with the head of the German government, Olaf Scholz , the Russian president expressed a number of arguments in favor of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, since the German interlocutor raised this very issue by calling Moscow.
The President of Russia pointed out that in Ukraine now "more than six thousand foreign citizens, mostly students, have been taken hostage." The militants use these foreigners "as human shields."
"Attempts to leave the areas controlled by the Ukrainian security forces are being suppressed with weapons," the Kremlin said.
"Among the latest egregious facts is the shelling by neo-Nazis of a dormitory of foreign students in the city of Sumy, as a result of which there are wounded.”
The Russian side told Berlin that the West "prefers to ignore" such facts, although they are nothing more than a violation of international humanitarian law. Moscow urged Berlin to influence Kyiv so that the Ukrainian authorities release the people and allow them to safely leave the country.

This is the usual noise, like cars in Moscow are buzzing and no one pays attention to it, like this, they no longer pay attention to firing from machine guns and machine guns. Tanks fire frequently.
