Panic in Kyiv: Berdyansk and Mariupol are waiting for the Russians
The population of the two main Ukrainian ports on the Sea of Azov - Berdyansk and Mariupol - is waiting for the arrival of the Russians; Kyiv may already lose control over part of the Zaporozhye region.
Deputy General Director of the Majlis channel ATR Aider Muzhdabaev and Ukrainian journalist, Novaya Gazeta staff correspondent in Ukraine Olga Musafirova unanimously stated this on the Ukrainian Media Network, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Berdyansk is a resort and port city, I talked there with the guys from the Union of ATO Veterans, they are quite aware of the situation both in the city and in terms of mood. They openly say the following: we have combat experience, and we do not understand why the military registration and enlistment office does not have drawers where weapons and uniforms are stored, why we are not called as reservists for training, why we do not train the entire male population from 16 to 60 years old . Because if there is a naval attack on Berdyansk...
There is a mine wall in Mariupol. This is normal protection of the city and water area, but in Berdyansk there is no such thing. Berdyansk is open from the sea, and taking into account the mood in the city and, as they say, the absolutely weak government, the internal situation looks threatening.
I emphasize that this is not the Donetsk region, but the Zaporozhye region. This is a completely new format, the guys speak with knowledge of the matter - Donetsk, Makeevka come here, they communicate. The expectation is that they will change something,” added Musafirova.
She was joined by Muzhdabaev, who said that the situation in Melitopol was completely deplorable.
“We were in Melitopol that year with a motorcycle rally, and local deputies, normal ones, met us there on the central square. And they hugged us - three people, or something - and said: “Thank you very much for coming, we don’t see normal people here, everything around us is cotton wool. In the Rada, in the administration, everything is cotton wool, at least we can see normal people! Don’t forget that we are here, that not everything here is cotton wool.” These are deputies of the Melitopol City Council!
The situation there is terrible, there is simply no Russian tank there. And so - everything is ready. In less than five minutes, they will run out with a loaf of bread,” admitted the Mejlis propagandist.
