Ukraine’s Steel Plant Soldiers Surrender As Russian Soldier Says Sorry

Posted on the 21 May 2022 by Geetikamalik

Kyiv, Ukraine: Russia said Thursday that 1,730 Ukrainian troops had surrendered this week at the Azovstal steel factory in Mariupol, showing some of the crutches after the battle of despair that had been a symbol of the war that was almost three months.
The number includes 80 injured and taken to hospitals in areas controlled by Russia in East Ukraine, said the Ministry of Defense in Moscow.

This ministry released a video that appeared to show the exhausted Ukraine soldiers who walked out of the extensive steel work, after a siege for several weeks forced defenders and civilians to gather in tunnels with lack of food, water, and terrible medicines.

Russian troops patted people who surrendered and examined their bags when they came out, indicating an effective ending of what the Ukraine government was referred to as “heroic” resistance.

The Red Cross International Committee said that he had registered “Hundreds of Ukraine War Prisoners” from the factory in Mariupol, a port city that was eliminated by Russian shooting.

Ukraine hopes to exchange Azovstal soldiers with Russian prisoners. But the Pro-Russian authority in the East Donetsk region of Ukraine suggested that some of them be tried.

The Ukraine prosecutor has so far registered 12,595 alleged war crimes by the invaders, including the bombing of the maternity ward in Mariupol, and on Wednesday opened the first trial of a Russian soldier.

Please forgive me

Vadim Shishimarin pleaded guilty to war crimes in shooting dead Oleksandr Shelipov, an unarmed 62-year-old man, in the northeast Ukraine on February 28-day after the invasion.

The 21 -year -old Sergeant, who faced a life sentence, was very sorry when he took the pier for the second day on Thursday, when two other Russian soldiers were tried elsewhere in Ukraine.

“I know that you will not be able to forgive me, but I ask for forgiveness,” Shishimarin said, talking to the widow of Shelipov in a narrow courtroom in Kyiv.

While Mariapol has fallen, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said the broader invasion was “absolute failure” because he marked “Vyshyvanka Day”, the annual celebration of the Ukraine people’s traditions.

Wearing a shade embroidered instead of his usual military khaki top, Zelensky said on the telegram social media platform that his people remained “strong, unbroken, brave and free”.

Zelensky’s resistance, and his army resistance, have gained Western admiration and stable military support. Minister of Finance G7 met in Germany to generate more cash support.

Mitra G7 must “convince Ukraine solvency in the next few days, a few weeks”, German Finance Minister Christian Lindner told the newspaper that Die Welt.

But German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said it might be “no shortcut” for the membership of the European Union for Ukraine. Ukraine Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba condemned the “second grade treatment” in his country.

Starving warnings

Russian actions have re -drawing European security maps.

US President Joe Biden entertained Finnish and Sweden leaders to discuss their offers to join NATO, after neighboring countries decided to leave decades of non-military-running.

“They fulfill every NATO requirement and then a few,” Biden told reporters with Nordic leaders on his side, offering “total, total, complete support of the United States”.

However, Turkish NATO members “determined” to block applications, said President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said Sweden in particular “complete terror paradise”.

Secretary General Nato Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance “handled the worries that Turkey had expressed”.

Outside Europe, this invasion also threatened to bring hunger, said UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.

Malnutrition, mass hunger and hunger “can follow” in a crisis that can last for years, “Guterres warned, urged Russia to release the export of seeds from the occupied Ukraine.

Russia and Ukraine produced 30 percent of the supply of global wheat, and war had sent food prices soaring throughout the world.

Ccamsed civilians

Apart from their last resistance in places like Marieupol, and the success of the defense of Kyiv, Ukraine’s troops resigned in the East.

Losses often occur after weeks of battles on cities and small cities that were destroyed when Russians surrounded them in slow moving waves.

In the eastern city of Severodonetsk, Ukrainian civilians bear the burden of Russian mortar shots that are endless.

Nella Kashkina sat in the basement next to the oil lamp and prayed.

I don’t know how long we can survive,” said the 65 -year -old former city worker.

We don’t have the remaining drugs and many sick people – sick women – need medicine. There is no drug left at all.”
