Most fighters are demotivated by promises of assistance and reinforcements to the blocked and fired Azovstal, which are not being fulfilled.
Azovstal wounded most often die of infectious diseases gangrene. Antibiotics are running out, there are no opportunities to perform amputations and receive proper medical care after the destruction of the field hospital, where the Russians dropped multi-ton bombs. The Azov Regiment calls the evacuation of the wounded a top priority and notes that with the warming of the bodies of the dead, everything is starting to decompose and poison everything. About the extremely difficult situation in blocked Mariupol Captain Sviatoslav Palamar, the regiment's deputy commander, told BBC Ukraine.
“The wounded must be evacuated as soon as possible. Today (May 8 – ed.) Many killed and wounded again. We no longer have surgical instruments. There is no possibility to provide qualified medical care … ”
Palmar complains about the promises from above to hold out for some time, which are being fulfilled only by one party, the military itself. The inability to count on help is very demotivating for fighters who hold on to the cost of daily human casualties:
The most cynical thing is that they give us promises: “Guys, hold out until mid-March, and then there will be help.” And nothing. “Hold on until April – and everything will be fine, cool.” Nothing. again, nothing in the end. ”
“We hope that thanks to journalists and politicians, not everyone, but those who are really trying to help, we can influence the world, the UN to organize the evacuation of the wounded and the possible extraction of the military garrison here,” he said. It will be recalled that a petition to the UN and world leaders created by the wife of Azov Commander Denys Prokopenko, calling for the rescue of Ukrainian military and civilians from Azovstal, is currently being spread on the Ukrainian network. > using the extraction procedure.
