Twenty Russians for one Azovs sounds about right. They are supposed to be "super-warriors" aren't they.
The Daily Satanist
Didn’t CNN say they withdrew, so that they could fight another day?
LOL.
I saw in another article that the head of Russia’s Duma (which I think is roughly equivalent to the USA’s Congress) wants to try the Azovstal group as war criminals.
They must have been in bad shape to surrender, knowing they could meet that fate.
Yep. Not a great outlet.
ha ha. Yeah, ok CNN.
“Will be interesting to see if the Azovstal group is swapped for Russian POW’s or put on trial by Russia instead (or something similar).”
It will vary:
Ukraine regulars with a clean record on war crimes will be returned after the war.
High value foreigners will be traded for something, such as reversal of some of the sanctions.
Azov types (easy to tell, given their Nazi-style tattoos), will be tried and, if lucky, get to spend the rest of their lives in jail.
Foreign mercenaries will also be tried, then executed.
By ‘Heroes’ you mean Nazis, right?
These guys were bused to their current incarceration which is much more humane than what the Soviets did to the Germans who surrendered at Stalingrad.
And the mop-up to exterminate the holdouts who didn’t surrender took weeks.
“They must have been in bad shape to surrender, knowing they could meet that fate.”
Calling them ‘motivated’ to hold out is true - given that they had nothing to lose. Calling them brave or heroes, not so much, as they had little option but to stand and fight, since Russia quickly cut off retreat options.
i want my 40 billion back
Sounds about right
Oh yeah, I’m not a fan of the Azov brigade.
Interesting that the media is NOW calling it a surrender...when they knew it all along.
I think the media decided that they couldn’t maintain the lie when videos came out, which of course they were going to come out. So they ‘softened’ the West to the bad news by making it sound like a retreat/redeployment, but now are calling it what they always knew, a SURRENDER.
That’s good to hear.
I’m not saying I agree with the reporter here. Just putting out the information.
Oh yeah. They were done. It was either surrender or perish.
So do I
Agreed. Always was a surrender.
“i want my 40 billion back”
Sorry—the Big Guy gets his cut first.
