The Kremlin said the Azov battalion or Neo-Nazis use the civilians they allegedly keep trapped as hostages, making them no better than Syrian terrorists. Civilians who were not released were used to exchange medicine or food as the Nazis saw fit last Thursday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has not ordered an all-out end of the Ukrainians because of the people who might get caught in their crossfire. .
Ukrainian Terror Tactics Not Reported by Foreign Media
Spokesman Dmitry Peskov contrasted how Azov Nazis used civilians to block a Russian route of their forces as no better than enemies in the Syrian interventions. Holding civilians allegedly against their will in the steel plant, reported RT.
Earlier, an anonymous spokesman of the Russian Command in control of the operation at the massive Azovstal complex asserted Russia's Ria Novosti news source, noted the Press United.
An official statement from the Kremlin remarked that the Russian army had seen such terrorist tactics in Syria, where lives were bartered for food as done by the Azov battalion. About 200 civilians, including women, children, and older people, are not allowed to leave, just like Syrian terrorists.
Vyacheslav Volodin, the Chairman of Russia's State Duma, said last Thursday in a Telegram post that the Nazi sympathizers are using the civilians left to get more supplies. They demand a ton of food and medicine for fifteen lives, or they will keep them detained.
Ukraine Forces Turn Out to be Like Syrian Terrorists
Volodin called the contemptuous conduct of Zelensky's forces to exchange a Ukrainian citizen for 66.6 kilograms of goods. He added these soldiers trapped in the plant only want to save their skins. They are no better than terrorists in their conduct.
Russian forces have claimed control of Mariupol and its port, not the Azovstal steelworks where the last Ukrainian holdouts are fighting though they are surrounded. Foreign media gives a different version of who is winning.
After thirty days under siege, the Azov-Nazis and regular Ukrainian units were trapped in the tunnel and strengthened bunkers under the Azovstal plant. They are pinned and are in danger of getting overrun had it not been for their allegedly coerced civilians.
Due to the danger of extreme casualties, if an assault happened, Putin decided to starve and blockade the plant in April. Forcing the trapped enemy force to comprehend their dire situation, New York Times reported.
However, claims have emerged that fighting has erupted recently at the steelworks. According to Ukraine's Unian news outlet, a former employee who worked at the steelworks revealed to Russian forces "secret tunnels under the factory," and Russian troops were trying to force their way into the bunkers but were met with opposition from Ukrainian troops.
The Donetsk People's Republic has previously accused Ukrainian fighters of taking up new positions in the facility during an evacuation truce, forcing Russian soldiers to strike with artillery and aerial strikes.
Following Ukraine's refusal to fulfill the conditions of the Minsk agreements, first signed in 2014, and Moscow's subsequent recognition of the Donbas republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, Russia launched an attack on the neighboring state in late February.
Kyiv refused to implement the Minsk agreement to the Donbas and did not assume neutrality as it decided to act as the proxy of America. Even denies it would have used force against the DPR and LPR had it not been for the special Russian operation.
The Kremlin calls the Azov battalion no better than Syrian terrorists trading civilians for food and using them as human shields as they hamper attempts to free those trapped in the tunnels.
