Escape attempt by "Azov:" Our commanders "sling mud" at Russian soldiers
[REGNUM] Ukrainian Nikita Timonin, who fled from the Azov battle, denied Kyiv's accusations that the Russian army allegedly used chemical weapons against the Armed Forces of Ukraine during a special operation.
Timonin said that on the morning of April 12, he fled from the territory of Azovstal in the city of Mariupol (DPR) and that he was caught by the fighters of the People's Militia of the Republic.
When asked if the Russians used chemical weapons, he replied:
"This is a complete lie. There has never been any use of chemical weapons since February 24. Why do they say something? Most likely, to "raise" the world community. Our commanders are trying so hard to throw mud at the Russian soldiers."
From "Azov" * do not leave alive - who fled from the battalion

Talking about the situation inside the regiment, he said that the people there were completely demoralized.
“Many people want to surrender or run away. They are afraid to run away, because, as I heard, there was an order that everyone they see "in civilian life" should be shot immediately on the spot," said Nikita Timonin.
When asked if there was an option to "move away", Timonin replied: "Move away, I think who will try, if they see him, they will kill him . " He himself was able to escape, he says that he was “lucky, probably” : “I completely changed my clothes: uniform, weapons, I left everything there.”

"200" is the Russian cargo code for dead, i.e. coffins
Speaking about the behavior of the commanders, he called it "ambiguous," explaining:
"They are trying to tell that some kind of help is coming to us. At one time they try to raise morale, but at the same time, as I said, they say that if someone leaves, we will shoot."

Kadyrov called the surrender of Marines of the Ukrainian Navy in Mariupol the right choice
[REGNUM] The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, made a statement about more than a thousand Ukrainian soldiers who had surrendered in Mariupol from the Naval Infantry Brigade of the Naval Forces of Ukraine on April 12 in his official Telegram channel.
"More than a thousand marines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine surrendered today in Mariupol. Among them, hundreds of wounded. This is the right choice," Kadyrov wrote.
According to the head of Chechnya, only small groups remained with the enemy, they do not know what to do with the wounded, where to turn, and for some reason they are afraid to go out with a white flag to the Russian troops.
As the head of Chechnya clarifies, there are about 200 wounded in the depths of Azovstal who cannot receive medical care, and for whom it would be better to end the resistance and return home.
"I appeal to those who are still holed up in the basements and tunnels of the plant: you know that we treat prisoners like human beings. Come out! Think about your own and other people's families, as more than a thousand marines did today," Kadyrov called on the Ukrainian military.
