in two hours, vasyl's big broadcast in winter, a project for intelligent and caring people in the evening, naispresso, good evening. we are from ukraine. on march 1, 2014, after the revolution of dignity, the flight of president viktor yanukovych to russia and his betrayal , the federation council gave consent to russian president putin for the use of russian armed forces on the territory of ukraine during march 2014, russia forcibly seized and annexed the crimean peninsula and illegally included it in its composition. in early april 2014, the russian federation launched separatist uprisings in donetsk and luhansk on in the east of ukraine, on april 12, 2014, a squad of armed

saboteurs captured the city of slavyansk, and on april 13, they shed the first blood, killing an sbu officer . russia's hybrid war against ukraine began to destroy its independence . it has always been a special city in donetsk region. the sea of ​​azov and beaches. factories and ports half a million population and billions in taxes to the state treasury historical identity and industrial power southern sun - sea waves from the steppe winds mariupoli itself the old town itself a large city it is cultural

a city where we had 5 theaters before the revolution, where there was a lot of trade, there was a port, there were many foreigners, three consulates, and definitely it was very different from the rest of donbas, this city stood out from the rest of donbas, and that in the times of the most severe trials of the russian army, it did not submit to it, but managed to stand up for itself and become a symbol of the great victory of one over all victory of the city of the unconquered its wayward character - this city showed only after the crimea, already in the donbass, the enemy launched a special operation under the code with the propaganda name russkaya vesna, the city on the azov river is strategically important due to its powerful industry, the access to the sea and the initial geographical location of mariupol. it was and is the main city

for the implementation of the novorossia project because it is a land corridor and it is already a completely different price for russia, and that is why i understood that mariupol would be now one of the main points of view of the attack of the pro-russian russian military and rebels decided to seize the military unit number 30-57 of the internal troops of the ministry of internal affairs in order to get to the weapon it happened in the dark of the day on april 16. three days after the announcement of the anti-terrorist operation in the east of ukraine, we hope for your awareness. we do not want you, our friends, comrades , to suffer because of some unthinking animal

. the people here military unit no. 357, then not even the national guard, but the internal troops of the ministry of internal affairs , located almost in the very center of mariupol at the address nakhimova avenue 182, the unit that was stationed here at that time was called the 17th separate battalion under the command of colonel serhiy sovinskyi around the territory of the military unit. dense urban development and the perimeter is actually trapped in residential quarters, a rather inconvenient tactical position in the event of a mass attack, and directly opposite the checkpoint of the unit, there are two residential five-story buildings, and they became convenient positions for the militants on the night of the 16th on april 17, but the main thing is that the soldiers of colonel sovinsky were not afraid of pressure and

open threats from the separatists. and when they tried to break into the military unit they committed the only true and legal action in accordance with the law of ukraine on the statute of the garrison guard service, they gave an armed repulse, first they opened a warning car, and then we attacked. then on april 16, in donbas, it was the first legal and justified use of weapons by the garrison of a military unit that did not surrender and committed resolute resistance to respond to i would like to point out that of those who died and were injured, almost all of the wounds were in the legs, only one was wounded by the

hand, magical, and that's why i tried shoot either as a warning or at the feet somewhere around 12 o'clock at the beginning of the first, the remnants of the attackers fled, the others were, as i said , wounded, two were even dead. i felt very sorry for them. but again, we did not invite them here to consolidate success and to ensure the further conduct of the anti-terrorist operation at the beginning of may, additional forces were transferred to mariupol, in particular the military battalion of the 72nd mechanized brigade with armored vehicles and the newly formed volunteer 20th territorial defense battalion from the dnipro to its fighters then on may 8, the poorly equipped had to

drive the separatists away from the liberated but not cleared barricades to the city council with shots in the air. but such determination of the fighters turned against them even more because the local population was zombified by russian propaganda, we are all one ukraine! to set for an insidious diversionary attack on mariupol , the terrorists deliberately chose victory day on may 9, when many mariupol citizens came out to lay flowers, a festive rally and march, many militias had already

moved and the militia was already patriotic the national guard was there, and i still expected that on may 9, er, we would pass normally, although there were peace tips to cancel, because the problem is when there are many people, and many people were definitely involved, many were zombified, many did not understand uh, what was happening in the morning , the leaders of all the ato forces of the sbu militia, the army guard gathered in the mariupol police for an operational meeting. they became the main target for a group of saboteurs under the code name mongoose. it was headed by mariupol resident oleg, his recent armed

with assault rifles, under the pretense of delivering a detainee, the assault group penetrated inside, opened fire, suppressed the resistance of the policemen on duty, took them hostage and quickly captured two floors of the building, but on the third floor, the militants were stopped by desperate armed resistance of the participants in the meeting of unit commanders, being to the right of the door, i fired several shots from a pistol pm serhiy volodymyrovych demydenko joined me through the glass, who also fired several shots from a machine gun , an intense shooting battle broke out in a narrow in a closed space on the stairs, corridors, in barricaded offices and the police, several armed militants in civilian clothes became angry. a sniper fired from one of the nearest buildings. their task was to meet with fire everyone who would come

to liberate those surrounded in the city department. about his capture and intense shooting inside, they immediately reported to the then chairman of the verkhovna rada, who temporarily acted as the president of the supreme commander-in-chief mariupol something is happening here please oksana what am i taking a break yes i am going to manage this process for me they say, well, they kill, they shoot, uh, they want to burn alive or kill me. breakthrough

to rescue policemen attacked and blocked by terrorists of the mongoose group and in the city police department of mariupol. brigades on bmp-2 and fighters of the 20th territorial defense battalion are the first to advance from the airport with ten units of armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles and one armored personnel carrier, they rush along the central lenin avenue, now mir avenue, through theater square and further to georgiivska, overcoming the blockade of peaceful residents who are frightened by the enemy 's armored vehicles a group of a consolidated unit of the national guard advances from the territory of military unit 3057 and through apatova street, now english, also arrives at the city department the police meet them with fire, the mongoose fighters kill one guard and injure three. and another

small group of armed azov volunteers dressed as civilians arrives on foot from the nearby sbu office, but there is no coordination between the three different ato forces that are advancing towards the building. the streets around are filled with aggressive civilians who are provoking the military in the building a fire breaks out in the police station, which very quickly covers the entire building and by evening turns it into a charred part of the building of the former city police station mariupol still stands here as a kind of silent monument to those tragic events. in order to suppress the mongoose militants who were entrenched on the first and second floors of the police station,

our military was intensively shelling it from the outside, in particular, with heavy weapons, hand grenade launchers and bmp guns, to provoke a greater number of victims and turn mariupol residents against ukraine separatists, the russian media for propaganda purposes, thought they threw insidious, pre-prepared lies , as if the military national guard were brought into the city to punish policemen in the city department because they did not want to shoot a peaceful demonstration on victory day, the police were on the side of the people, who were shot by the military themselves, they just ran out

now, there will probably be another shooting, and although the soldiers were constantly driving away the maddened crowd, they fired warning shots in the air and bullets into the ground ricochets advise a few civilians quickly call an ambulance in the end the mongoose group militants who survived using the general disorder and the moral support of hundreds of aggressive civilians were able to escape from the battlefield. here they are carrying the body of one of the dead, bald in glasses with a mustache, it is the group commander, oleg mongust, a recent guy in a bulletproof vest was stabbed. another militant, a copper , a man in yellow with a machine gun in his hands. from the

city to the airfield, overcoming barricades made of tires that the locals had already managed to build. on the central avenue, one of the infantry fighting vehicles under the ukrainian flag made a breakneck jump which became one of the symbols of this war, but the crew of one bmp-2 with a technical malfunction had to be abandoned by the maddened crowd. it was looted. the next day , the city council itself was burned down in the central square after the police building. on the night of may 10, the city council itself was also burned down. even then, chaos began in mariupol. the situation was practically uncontrolled because the police were powerless complete chaos in the center and

no one could the national guard left for the airport and no one and the security forces could give a real answer and it was a critical moment for mariupol on may 9, 13 people were killed in mariupol, six from the ukrainian forces, two soldiers, demydenko and eismand, two policemen, sayenko and yermolenko, one soldier of the national guard, shlankevich, and one volunteer, azov dobrodomov, among the fighters of the mongoose group, there were four dead, and three more civilian local residents became victims of the bloody house that they staged the separatists launched an insidious attack on the city police department. they did not care if they won or lost in the region. they wanted a clash with victims, they got it. this was the main i i think that it was not so much a military operation as a special

operation, that is, the operation of the special services took place in order to avoid greater casualties among the civilian population, all ukrainian forces were withdrawn from mariupol to the airport near the city, it became the base of the anti-terrorist operation group and, by agreement, the headquarters of sector m the day after the bloody victory day in mariupol, approximately from donetsk, a detachment of fighters was led by a certain andriy borisov, nicknamed chechen, although he himself had nothing to do with chechens, except that he wore a similar beard the city plunged into the darkness of banditry, someone was really convicted there before, someone really had never worked before, if you say, for example , about their leader, the chechen andriy borisovat, he generally worked as a tractor driver, a shepherd, had no education, and in general, he was characterized by the place

of residence of a worthless person, his base was terrorists under the command borisov chechnya made an intersection at the corner of greek and georgiyivska streets, the fighters blocked them with barricades and camped in two of their buildings there vocational technical school and a bank, well done, 350 people brought businessmen, put sacks on their heads at night, beat them, dug themselves out, robbed atms in broad daylight, it got to the point that they tried to rob banks, went out with a grenade launcher in broad daylight outside the city limits, continued active training of all ato forces to it was impossible to release it, the militants could not be allowed to gain a foothold and strengthen themselves with people and weapons.

mariupol was blocked by god, they controlled all the checkpoints, and on the other hand, we dug all the roads that were once asphalt and dirt, and we did it completely from the highway mariupol donetsk to the sea, and there was not a single road along which it was possible to move. the main striking force was the super- motivated volunteers of the azov battalion, and their main problem was the complete lack of accurate intelligence data about the enemy in the city, because of this, the operation was postponed twice. there was kayak army intelligence and so on, i don’t say what about the unmanned one, which didn’t give a clear understanding of what is actually going on in mariupol, what do they have there, let’s say what kind of forces and means do they have they are here and so on, we were ready to

take a risk, but the command made a permanent decision to delay delay delay because of this, the then commander of all ato forces near mariupol, major general of the national guard mykola klymchuk , believed in the young, determined boys of the volunteers and strengthened them a heavy army weapon, a generator, klymchuk was one of those who listened, he had no real combat experience, but to the extreme he listened to those who had it and those who had intelligence data working directly in the city itself several people, i was one of them. it was precisely because klimchuk took this responsibility that he gave hard , because everyone assured that in the city it is not possible to give hard, it is not necessary. scalded

with armor plates at the azovstal plant, 72 army bry provided us with a zu-23-2 anti-aircraft gun with an even larger caliber of 23 mm, its combat calculation voluntarily volunteered to go into battle together with the azov soldiers in the dark at dawn at the mariupol airport all the forces of the participants in the storming of the city were lined up, the strike groups of the azov battalion, volunteers of the dnipro-1 militia battalion and the national guardsmen who were supposed to block the area of ​​the operation, but everyone was scared because they had never carried out such assaults in the center of a big city. today these creatures will lie under us and we will stand if anyone has doubts about them, remember that they are waiting for us in the hangar. we cannot show ourselves to be cowards in front of them. ukraine

and instead of military armored vehicles of the region, operations were carried out by civilian passenger buses trucks and cars, but they were driven by those who were overflowing with motivation, the determination to expel the separatists from mariupol, attention, we are looking outside the windows, one assault group, reinforced with a large-caliber machine gun, utyos on a truck attacked the terrorist district from the south , among the fighters was the author of this video , a maidanite, and then an azovite andrii dzindzia here

he is firing from a machine gun himself, and his camera on his helmet then records the entire course of the offensive operation , the enemy's resistance in this area was fast suppressed, the fighters were ready to go forward because the fire from the utyos machine gun turned out to be very intense, accurate and effective, on the other hand, the second assault group advancing from the spartak hotel on georgiivska street encountered more serious resistance from the enemy . arms in hand, ours started the attack borman short queues cover the passage pay attention to everything in the yard windows second half went go get ready ready borman starts when they are pressed

they could not get up, the machine gunners worked but did not reach the guys with the pipes under the tank came running bang but the fact is no way but it worked very well that side was ready to attack and they could not do anything how to stop the enemy was firing intensively from american guns from the upper floors of the school the first wounded appeared and here the same anti-aircraft installation of the zu-23-272nd brigade came to the aid of the azovians , pass the following targets. the first target is a barricade, the second floor is a building to the left of the barricade, first there is a sniper point there,

then the barricades, then you leave as you understood - i understood, i called klymchuk, mykolayovych was the commander of the sector at that time and i say, mr. general, let me use my teeth, he says, you understand that this city is a slate they will light up i say that it is necessary to inform that there are snipers working on the second and third floor i already let's go on the second and third i'm just sure knowing him that he just stood and i hear the receiver pause then listen to my command trojan, i give the order to use the zuzu 10 shots at the enemy's positions, the second, third floor - i also like the crew commander, they come forward , they work, they generally worked perfectly, they

worked only on the bank and the school, and not a single projectile landed there, and so on, because from 23 mm, it was very good, would have been an argument for the task of looking at the enemy, preventing him from aiming his fire, giving him a chance to suppress his morale, moral and psychological state, they gave the opportunity to the assault groups to move forward. i know it was a long way home. well, you saw the distance. yes, it was several hundred meters on both sides, but we walked it for 6 hours. borman left. it was fighting in the center of the city, but not a single peaceful resident was injured for us.

it is important that mariupol develops as a peaceful city and progresses quickly, because for us mariupol is a very valuable and important part of ukraine. of the azov volunteer battalion, although it was blocked but inhabited by peaceful residents of the city quarter in the very center of mariupol, then it was the most difficult type of battle where there are now patrol police cars, there were concrete barricades , and the fighters themselves sat in the capital structures of the building of the vocational school and the former bank and from there led a rather intense fire, in order to suppress this fire, azov had to use large-caliber weapons right here in a non-evacuated place, a large-caliber utyos machine gun worked from the greek 12.7 mm, and from the georgievskaya, an even more powerful

anti-aircraft weapon, the zu-23-272nd mechanized brigade, the morning of june 13, friday, became a real unhappy day for the fighters of the chechen group a, they were literally crushed at this intersection, and then heard a real military triumph because they had no one killed, only a few wounded mariupol was freed with little blood, only four wounded these two it was god's help glory to the heroes glory to ukraine glory to the heroes! a man with a flag of ukraine came out and shouted,

do you remember, guys? thank you, guys drive this animal out of here, the leader of the mariupol militants, borisov wrote to the chechens , he managed to escape before the assault of his henchmen, he simply threw himself at them, awaiting trial . investigators of the zaporizhzhya oblast subdivision, as long as i remember we detained you together 28 people coincided, some returned home, some continue to perform the tasks that came from the city of donetsk, that is, it cannot be said that the entire city is completely freed. the triumph of the almost

bloodless liberation of the main strategically important ukrainian city on the azov river did not last long . appeared the next day after the assault in the morning on saturday, june 14. then, through mariupol, they were transferred to the border with russia at checkpoints, additional forces of border guards arranged a crossing in the area novoazovsk, they put tetrapods there, they put fortifications there, and the same thing was done on marusiki and that transition. that is, we controlled it so that we understood what would happen from there
