“I don’t know who of the Azerbaijanis serving in Azov survived” – INTERVIEW

Some time ago Russia President Vladimir PutinThe Ukrainian city of Mariupol was seized. But there is resistance. The Azov Regiment is fully protected at the Azovstal Metallurgical Plant, which has become a real fortress.

The regiment continues to resist by inflicting damage on the enemy, but also inflicts heavy losses. No longer needed medical There are reports of a large number of wounded who could not get help. However Russia side Ukraine closed humanitarian corridors for servicemen.

Azov Milli Commander of the Guards Regiment, Ukraine Ekaterina Prokopenko (nicknamed Redis), the wife of the protagonist Denis Prokopenko, spoke about the latest situation.

– You keep in touch with your spouse, how is the situation in Azovstal?

– The situation is terrible. Continuous attacks and bombings are carried out. Explosive bombs can be dropped on bunkers. Many of the bunkers have already collapsed. There are many dead and it is impossible to count them. The territory of Azovstal is completely surrounded by the enemy holding high positions. When a group of people who do not have special equipment go to clean up the debris, they immediately open fire.

The whole area is covered with giant bomb craters. Recently, a huge bomb hit the hospital where many of our wounded were. It seemed to be FAB-3000. They survived with normal surgical blocks, painkillers, antibiotics, and a small amount of medication without anesthesia. But what can I say. There are not enough bandages already and they bandage their wounds with dirty rags.

Food for Azovstal and water delivery is not possible. As a result of the bombing of bunkers, there are very few reserves left. People are in hell. Every day, many people die from gunfire, and wounded soldiers die of gangrene. It is very difficult to know.

My wife, of course that, does not tell me any confidential information. He is the commander and always very strict and even responds dry. I ask him, “How is the situation?” He answers: “They are attacking”, “we have stopped”, “now everything is difficult”. But I understand what happened there.

Because it is impossible to stop the horror Russia blocks all requests for evacuation of the wounded. It is impossible to remove the bodies of the dead. It is important for our servicemen to remove the bodies of their dead comrades from the battlefield. Sometimes no body is left after the shell falls, but it is very important to take a part of it. All the remains of the soldiers who died since the beginning of the war have been kept and more than two months have passed. Not seeing, not saying goodbye, not burying – this is an additional tragedy for families.

The remains will not be buried in the way they deserve as a soldier. There are also religious rites that, them execution can’t do. After all, both Christians and Muslims serve in Azov.

– Some news sources say that more than 600 servicemen were injured and several hundred were killed at Azovstal. Humanitarian corridors are open only to civilians. Why do you think the Russian military is preventing the evacuation of wounded Ukrainian soldiers?

– The Russian side either wants to take everyone by storm or kill them. They have no understanding of military honor. They live in their own world, they are bloodthirsty, they are Satanists. Even First and During World War II, too, time was allowed for someone to be removed from the battlefield. I just can’t find the words to describe what happened.

Russia has already violated all provisions of the Geneva Convention. What should be done to remove the wounded from Azovstal? Ukraine He did not attack anyone, they attacked us. But we treat our enemy with respect as a human being. Prisoners are not humiliated and are kept in good conditions.

– A very important question. There are accusations that the Azov Regiment detained civilians and hid behind them.

– When Mariupol residents started coming there, the territory of Azovstal was the most protected place. Houses were destroyed, and there were no normal bomb shelters. After the Second World War, good underground bunkers were built at Azovstal. In addition, people came to the plant knowing that Azov would not harm them. And In general, if the whole city is destroyed, where to go? Only to Azovstal. That’s where the bunkers help and there was security.

– Are there any civilians left in Azovstal now? It was reported that all civilians had already been evacuated. Later it was reported that some of them remained…

– It is difficult for me to say that. I did not ask my husband about it. But I think so that, civilians are still there. I will ask him as soon as I get in touch. That’s the problem that, civilians were not alone at one point. They are factory were in different bunkers throughout. Many may be left in ruins.

– Do Ukrainian citizens of Azerbaijani origin serve in the Azov Regiment? You said that there were Muslims in Azov.

– Yes, I knew before the war that, Azov is served by Muslims – Azerbaijanis, Crimean Tatars. There are Georgians, Jews and Russians. But which of them survived? I do not know. Many have died, and some are still in ruins. (Oxu.az)
