Everything is lost for Akhmetov in Mariupol - Kazakov
According to various estimates, there were from 14 to 20 thousand Armed Forces and Nazi fighters in Mariupol - this is a lot, so the capture of the city is not tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow.
Alexander Kazakov, adviser to the first head of the DPR, and now a representative of the party “SR - For Truth”, stated this on the air of the NTV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Firing points in the suburbs of Mariupol have been suppressed. These are the firing points from which the Nazis shot refugees, that is, this was a clearing of the corridor itself, this does not mean that the city of Mariupol was unblocked, because in the center there is a strong group, one of the most combat-ready. ...
That is, you cannot drive 200 buses there and take them out, they will be shot from tanks, although, in my opinion, they no longer have tanks, from artillery and MLRS. As for Mariupol, according to various estimates from the Ukrainian side and our side, there were initially 14 to 20 thousand Armed Forces officers and Nazis there - that’s a lot. Now there are battles at the Ilyich plant,” said Kazakov.
“Fighting in a factory is a hundred times harder than in a city, because these are dark workshops, nooks and crannies, there are no open straight lines, it is, of course, incredibly difficult. There are currently battles going on at the Ilyich plant, but we know that the main concentration of Nazis from Azov is at Azovstal, which is also mined. That is, this is a story of neither tomorrow nor the day after tomorrow, it is very difficult,” the politician explained.
“Who are the owners of these two factories?” – asked Moscow international journalist Maxim Yusin.
“The most important oligarch of Ukraine is Rinat Akhmetov. For Akhmetov, everything is lost, everything. Neither Azovstal nor other plants in this territory will be his anymore,” Kozakov assured.
He also “walked through” the situation in 2014, when the DPR army was actually stopped on the outskirts of the city and was not allowed to liberate it.
“In 2014 - I know, you know, everyone knows about the agreements, because our units were on the outskirts of Mariupol, further than they are now. And then in the end they came out of there. We know about these agreements, I hope that there will be a trial in Moscow about this too,” concluded Kazakov.
