Russia's Defence Ministry said on May 19 that 1,730 Ukrainian soldiers had surrendered this week at the besieged Azovstal steel plant in Ukraine's port city of Mariupol.
"Over the past 24 hours, 771 militants of the Azov nationalist regiment surrendered," the Ministry said in its daily briefing on the conflict. "In total, since May 16, 1,730 militants have surrendered, including 80 wounded," it added.

“Where are all the French and American mercenaries, the bio-weapons specialists, the NATO officers that were claimed to be there?”
The Azov regiment is nothing more than a neo-Nazi terrorist group that was initially formed as a volunteer group in May 2014 out of the ultra-nationalist Patriot of Ukraine gang, and the neo-Nazi Social National Assembly (SNA) group. Both groups engaged in xenophobic and neo-Nazi ideals and physically assaulted migrants, the Roma community and people opposing their views. The current Patriot of Ukraine (founded in 2005), and the SNA (founded in 2008), is known to have carried out attacks on minority groups in Ukraine.
Membership in this group seems to be a bit blurred but if you check out their organization you’ll find they are supported with funds and people from the US and Europe.

So, you want to keep the Biden grift going.
1,500 remain.
The Azovs are being interrogated by the FSB/GRU, badly wounded in a hospital, the rest are in a local prison.
1,500 remain at the plant.
There is a small sub-set of countries which, for obscure historical reasons, use the definite article in their English-language name: The Lebanon, the Sudan, the Netherlands, and the Ukraine.
I, too, grew up using the definite article when speaking about Ukraine. I am now trying to wean myself off using it, since (apparently) at least some Ukrainians find it slightly derogatory.
(There are no definite articles in the Ukrainian language, so their own name for their own country in their own language does not have the article.)
You'll find all kinds of curious demonyms used in various different languages for other peoples: "Haoli" is Hawaiian for "without breath," but was used to describe Europeans (b/c Europeans kept their distances, did not hug - thus creating the impression that they had no breath). "Nemtsi" (literally: "mutes") is the Russian word for Germans, since they apparently couldn't speak at all. Etc.
Does that answer your question?

It's about the Ukrainian people.
Oh, so you think that 40 billion is going to the Ukrainian people?
Get some common sense.
lol.
I had thought it might refer to geographical reference. For example, I grew up in “the south” and here I live in the Piedmont, so that was my best guess, but I never really knew.
Behind closed doors.
Yes, the toponym "Ukraine" comes from the Old Slavic. It means roughly "peripheral land."
Kinda like "The Netherlands" meaning, literally, the "low" lands.
Does NOT mean that the country has less of a right to sovereignty.
Regards,
Interesting how we have to go to an Indian site just to see how badly Ukraine is losing.
Convention is Ukraine, no “the” before it.
I do not know the reason for sure.
However, if I had to guess, it is because that is how Ukrainians and Russians would do it. They don’t use articles as in English in their language. If you ever edit anything written by a less than fully English literate person from there, expect to add and fix articles.
I simply made that error because I was in a hurry.
Fixed that for ya, comrade.
You told Zelensky to surrender on the first day of the Russian invasion, remember that, Putlim?
No you don't, so you have to have your face rubbed in it again and again like a dog's face into his own excrement...
"If Biden had not kept agitating for war, always stirring the pot, I wonder if EU and/or NATO would have worked out a compromise with Putin.A statement that NATO would not encroach on the Russian borders any more, and maybe making the two Dombas breakaway countries sovereign would do it. Ukraine would not like it, but they would be better off than now."
Ukraine would be better off surrendering their own sovereign borders?
Did you think I had forgotten about you and all of your pro-Russian posts? How's your buddy Medvedchuk?
See tagline, Putlim.
"Did you know that the Russians brought in the Red Cross to register and document EVERY prisoner that has come out of Azovstal? Does that sound like Stalin's Gulags?" - Putlim88Damn, you Putlims have got to better coordinate your lies offsite L. O. F. L."The first trial against a captured Azov nazi started today." -Dumb_F---sForPutlim
As if no one is watching you here AND there, L. O. F. L.
"Da, Red Cross person, heere is vere you can pick up body after trial. I now geev you xerox copy of previous preepared toe tahg. Dasvidanya."
Just guessing, I kinda thought it might have originally come from American military references and usage in WWII and after, maybe, but I never really knew. Same reasoning for how the names of some cities there are spelled, also.
Anyhoo, no judgments and please forgive me if I sounded critical instead of just being curious and having an opportunity to ask someone about it.
Cheers!
How many civilian shields get freed with them
Seps sure wanted to kill them all after all the shit they’ve rained down on Donbas pro separatists population past 8 years
Russia forced them to not kill them now
This is a serious animus feud
Don’t forget seps shot down those two choppers carrying uke brass granted safe passage by Army of Putin
I’m surprised they got them to do this especially the Chechen commander Putin sent in for this op
He is a known hard case
His trial isn't a state secret so I'm quite sure the International Red Cross busy bodies are well aware of Denis by now... even if he wasn't *checks notes* "registered" with them before being taken to face justice in a Donbas court.
-btw Denis looks well taken care of, don't you think? 😬😄
