Soldiers of the "Somali" battalion from Donbass hoisted their flag on the high-rise of Mariupol.
Mariupol is taken.
One small problem:
Mapиyпoль пoд нaшим кoнтpoлeм, ocтaлocь зaчиcтить тoлькo зaвoд «Aзoвcтaль»
Mariupol is under our control, it remains to clean up only the Azovstal plant
So... not really "taken"?
The city is completely under the control of the forces of Russia and Donbass. The confirmed losses of Ukrainian forces in Mariupol already exceed the official losses of Ukraine in this operation, announced recently by Zelensky, and 1,462 Marines surrendered. Judging by the intercepted radio communications, the inhabitants of the bunker near Azovstal after yesterday's bombardment are in a state close to panic. There will be no deblockade and they know it.
