16:21 The Russians are starting to rebuild Mariupol. started the process of launching the port through which the supply will now take place. We launched water in communications in order to understand the level of breakthroughs. Also, the number of Russian political tops who came to Mariupol now makes it clear that this city will be made a "showcase" of the region. Most likely, most of the residential high-rise buildings will be demolished and new ones will be built.

15:07 Mariupol will become a resort city. The restoration of the heavy metallurgical industry in the city has no economic prospects. The head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, said that "Mariupol will be restored with an emphasis on the resort business." It can be assumed that the quality of life of citizens, the ecological and social situation in Mariupol after such a “re-profiling” will seriously improve: in Russia, especially taking into account restrictions on the entry of citizens into Europe, a serious demand for a sea resort vacation is expected.

14:06 To compensate for the "reputational losses" after the surrender of the neo-Nazis "Azov" * in Mariupol, the top of the Kyiv regime attracts the maximum number of Ukrainian radicals to the service. Against the backdrop of a well-coordinated howl of neo-Nazis that Kyiv had “leaked” the southern front, information appeared about the creation of a new brigade that would operate as part of the National Guard of Ukraine. The name of the new formation corresponds to the spirit of the current Kyiv regime - "Galicia".

14:06 The exit of militants from Azovstal can only be considered unequivocally: they lay down their arms and surrender, - Peskov.

13:21 Military experts state that the Russian Armed Forces and the LDNR police are actively developing Western weapons supplied by NATO member countries to Ukraine from among the captured samples and arsenals.

In turn, the Ukrainian side, receiving financial assistance from the West, is clearly interested in dragging out hostilities, even if they lead to an increase in the number of civilian casualties.

The tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Battalions, which consists in "burning the ground" when leaving positions, equipping combat points in residential buildings, kindergartens, etc., as well as using the civilian population as a "human shield" and using prohibited types of weapons (cluster munitions, phosphorus and various chemical compounds), gives grounds for accusing the Ukrainian authorities of violating the Geneva Convention, and the Russian side is promptly collecting information for the tribunal.

Particular attention is paid to the consolidation of data on the provision of military assistance to the Ukrainian regime.

13:19 Kadyrov: the military from Azovstal can be exchanged, "but the ideological Bandera people cannot be changed, they must be punished by law."

10:44 A total of 962 Ukrainian militants have already surrendered from the Azovstal plant in Mariupol, the Headquarters of the Territorial Defense of the DPR said.

10:29 The situation in the Severodonetsk direction.

There are reports of the success of the combined groups of allied forces in the Severodonetsk direction. A number of new residents came under the control of the NM LDNR. The Artemovskoe/Bukhmutskoe direction of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is also bursting at the seams. Now it becomes clear all the scale of the battle for the strategic Popasnaya, which became the key to the further offensive of the Allies.

Well, I note that the fighting spirit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is also losing its strength, but this does not mean that it does not exist. Many fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are still ready to die and die for their ideas, but there are fewer of them every day.

09:48 Khodakovsky: With the onset of darkness, the surrender process was not suspended, until 2200 hrs the enemy continued to leave Azovstal. About 600 people came out through our section, so far in the morning there is silence.
