“When the Russians came, we cried” – residents of Mariupol greet the liberators
The DPR and Russian armies liberating Mariupol, knocking out neo-Nazi militants from the city, are releasing civilians from the basements of multi-storey buildings.
Military correspondent Mikhail Andronik reported this in his Telegram channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
One of the freed women said that Russians had been expected in the city for a long time. However, the two-week assault turned out to be a real nightmare for them.
“We thought we would never get out of there. We counted the days. They tell us - one more day, two more. And then the second week, the second has already ended. I still can’t get over the fact that we are free.
With fever, all recovered, no medications. When our guys came in, we cried. When the man came in and said good evening, we realized that the Russians had come,” she said.
At the same time, the liberation of the Donetsk-Mariupol highway is ending. The cleanup of Volnovakha and Novotroitsky continues, but soon it will be possible to get from Donetsk to Mariupol by car in one hour.
