war you know it still has two sides war - it's about horror and about happiness how did you end up in mariupol everyone is interested in how did it happen that mariupol shaved so quickly how is entourage doing to you no no it’s even pleasant, it’s like the rest of me. i

was worried that you won’t be comfortable here and that you won’t have pleasant memories. to be honest, i’m a military man , this war will make many unexpected discoveries, but the brightest will be people, our people, who are experiencing real things with bare nerves, for whom this war is only black and white, for whom heroes are scoundrels and whose wings grow only in battle, because there the concepts of officer honor and soldier's dignity acquire a crystal clear meaning bohdan krutovich, chief of staff of the azov regiment temporarily acting regimental commander, look, i remember, so before the full-scale invasion, zelenskyi came to mariupol twice, well, obviously

, the thoughts are that he came there twice for a reason, and i even know that he was terribly unhappy with what he saw, namely the strengthening of training and so on. and then, when the active phase of the already large-scale war began, we were here watching how, in fact, the first point was like this. when it became very painful, it was when the first battalion was captured in the first battle. a leak of information that it seems that one of your people commented that you should not give up and have the courage to fight. we all said that there. well, i completely want to hear the chronology from the first

day to the last day when we hand you over to the field. well, i want to hear how the azovians and the infantrymen and the national guard and the border guards found themselves close to the sea in this azastal again, was it your prepared position azastal did you think you would end up there that's all it's all the same it so happened that the city of palo that the fortress on which was calculated fell well, it was not calculated at all and it lasted as long as none of the history in the entire history, the truth is that there is no such example of such a ratio of sides of the military, that is, the complete advantage in aviation is complete, we did not have such a thing anymore, yes, helicopters only there later they drove us four or five times, we don't have ship's artillery, but the enemy has a full one and it's tied to us. i thought then that there were about

20,000. now i understand that there are more military personnel, and this is a rocket salvo fire system. artillery, tanks, and so on. here we have everything ending, not being restored, and they still have a rotation , that is, they bring one battalion tactical group there, it fought there for two weeks or fought for a month, well, they are tired, because all this is tired and then it changes. how did this happen? in me there are clear names that i will definitely have when i finish the issues with the exchange of prisoners when i finish the organizational issues. when will the regiment, the azov regiment, finally receive tanks, artillery, which we naturally destroyed in overdue went out. and i will definitely write a letter to the prosecutor general

's office so that the people who are guilty of the fact that the defense of mariupol happened the way it did have to be punished, and if it's more military, there is a zone of joint forces, they won't be questioned. no, they won't catch me they can't. well, it's not that i'm not running away, i'm just telling you before the recording that you have a lot of work to do. you are currently imprisoned. i just want to note that there is the main directorate of intelligence of the security service of ukraine, the representative office of the ministry of internal affairs, they are very - they go very well meet and we have a very, very big and good interaction, something that was not there, for example, there was a year ago, there were two years ago and so on . come there, gather the boys there and well, it’s all

easier in the military, ah, i just don’t know , well, after the capture, we will be interviewed not about this, i will most likely be interviewed about recruitment, about torture there and yes then here it is, uh, it's operational the strategic level of what happened and i was present. i am a witness, one of the few i raided and uh, there was uh, the senior lieutenant of kharkiv who, unfortunately , the head of the operational department died . that there are problems, we talked about it, well, i am a rather radical person, emotional things, of course, more reserved , but a clearer commander, and we said about it that i have problems, uh, if the question is whether mariupol

was handed over, i will say that no, this is just a negligent attitude to the enemy and to the planning, this is it if you take the zone of the joint forces, but there is also the southern direction of the crimea. from the crimea, the troops advanced, and they did not feel any resistance. of the united forces. that is, it is not a question for the united forces. it is a question for another person. i believe that i personally do not know who was responsible for it there, i do not know the last name, but it is such a structure, which is ok, the south of the volume south, and it should have i have been defending this place since 2015

i understood that the direction of the crimea is not closed, it is not closed there at all, well, it was very weakly built for defense, and the fact that they would go to the crimea, it was logical, and the fact that they were supposed to be met at this isthmus well, these are small logistics - a small corridor of mobility it is called in military terms, and that is, if you just close the artillery there, the enemy would come to me. well, there was no kherson. because berdyansk was not occupied , melitopol would not be occupied. the front line would not be occupied now. so we would be surrounded because the ring itself the ring of mariupol for a-a another group ro- grouping eastern which passed between volnovakha and mariupol they closed the ring between nikolsk and mariupol well oh yes oh and we were waiting against the landing force oh we were waiting for the landing of the landing force from the sea coast and

there was no replenishment before berdyansk, i don't remember which settlement the column that came from the crimea was replenished with personnel and equipment, the landing was above berdyansk, our area of ​​responsibility is oblique - it's not, it's an operation of the joint forces, i'm saying everything is ok i had to do the north and the south, and it really affected me when i was sitting on the couch. that is, we didn't sleep there at all. here, but the experience we were getting. well, we all thought that we would die. the experience we were getting. i thought that it should be passed on . it is necessary to talk about it and i wanted the people who were guilty to bear responsibility and, well, there was such rhetoric in the media that we will sort it out later, you know, then we will sort it out with the maidan. about what happened in mariupol

you say later, i will definitely say this during the survey, well, in simpler terms, uh, i already when i meet with the ministry, i say that you and everything, and i will definitely. i want it to be official, i am there as the chief of staff or acting as a temporary officer and so on. i write there the name of the prosecutor general, i ask you to consider such and such a question . how did it all happen? who said what surnames, as they said. well, and more witnesses, a witness, also a flight, he was also a representative, well, in fact, he led the resistance of mariupol, that’s what you know. i personally agree with this.

well, i don’t hide it. er, russia will not launch a full-scale invasion er, well, as the chief of staff, i was wrong. well, everything helped . and why did i think so because the forces that were scattered and there are principles of war, it's massiveness, it's there, it's a single direction, that is, yes yes, there is some center, i don't remember whether it's the fifth center , whether it's under the fsb or under the game, which develops psychological pressure operations there, and the intelligence agency, and so on. and they all hoped for the effect. let's say that this center

was disbanded in my opinion by the russian federation, if i'm not mistaken, they planned the operation, planned it very, very badly. i believe that from a purely military point of view, the one who brings such an operation is such an order, well, a plan of action... e of the president of the russian federation, he was supposed to sit in prisons or to shoot, that is, it is generally in the military sense, the operation was wrong, the logistics were not thought out. was four times from donetska mykolaiv and analyzed everyone's thoughts a--that is, everyone guessed a little well, he didn't guess, but let's say

he analyzed. it won't work. well, the enemy, that is, he won't go for it because it's known, er, a losing operation, so the enemy went for a losing operation, that is, i was right, it's just that when we all wrote the debriefing , we wrote that we should count on the fact that the russian federation and the president of the russian federation is illogical, he is generally illogical in his actions, well, it is very difficult to understand what is happening in his and that's why we, uh, did it as, well, as the military, oh , and because russia was counting on this uh, shock effect, and it happened. i don't understand investigator, these are my guesses, but in the kherson and zaporizhzhia regions and in the southern direction of berdyansk, all the military and so on left kherson

, all the military and so on left for melitopol. if i am not mistaken, the fighting has already started behind melitopol. why this happened is not my question. i hoped what are you going to tell me? when i get out of captivity, why did it happen? some people said that we will figure it out later. then we will figure it out. well, i still haven't figured it out, you see. maybe this person is the one who handed it in, maybe he is a traitor. and he is still sitting somewhere there and makes some kind of decision about such a psychological state in the early hours on the first day of the 24th, that is, everyone with whom you were in contact in mariupol, and i can say yes, i do not hide it from the national police in full force, the patrol police left in full squad well, i don't know in full it 's the majority left, it's more the commander of the patrol police, it's just a populated one, it's called a tiger

, that's how he helped us a lot, and, uh, some people just, well, i don't know, disguised themselves, it's different units, i don't remember everyone, because everything is chaotic took place changed clothes and women began to leave there, some who are military personnel also simply went to zaporizhzhia there without any order and so on, we later presented them as deserters because they are deserters. well, if you wore a military uniform , regardless of your gender, you are a military serviceman. you have a fixed weapon armored life fairy tale if you need to defend your city or not your city but your country then you have to do it and it's so simple government and the city government ah there was a problem ours said in the interview i didn't i remember, and there was a problem in that, despite the fact that in the media, i heard that akhmetov was good for full

access to his factories there, azostal, and so on, and there was a very big problem to get to azovstal, we did not conduct a reconnaissance on we were late until the first day before the first day of the full-scale offensive, although the planning began in two weeks, so i'll tell you, and we tried , it came to the point that, just so you understand, we will be allowed to go there only to change into the mother-of-the-bride uniform and... so that only raidis came in i contacted ignat and the commander of the 12th brigade and we planned to go in exactly on the 24th, well, that is, everything was postponed, at first it was possible, then it was not

possible , we went to inspect the location. they postpone it to the 22nd, they postpone it, then they are looking for a uniform of our size, customs, an investor, i am all this, they give me fairy tales, glasses, well, what if you are waiting for a full-scale offensive? well, we just told everyone, you understand . will begin full-scale offensive - this is martial law. excuse me, the military is already in charge, and this is exactly what happened. there were also problems, for example, with the evacuation of civilians, when some representatives of the government did not understand this. and when they made green corridors, if they did not agree, not with the military from our side, not with the military from the russian federation parties and simply convoys went to the mini fields and we stopped them and then the question came to us. and why don't you release from this well, there were also stories like that

, it was called military energy, it's called and why did you ask i remember your i haven't answered the question yet. it's very difficult. so , why was the joint headquarters of the defense of mariupol the joint headquarters of the defense of mariupol ? but the joint joint defense headquarters of mariupol also included all the representatives of the police in the winter of the 23rd and so on and so on and so on. it ceased to exist somewhere on well, i can say that on the first day because for everyone almost all the soldiers were not there, the 36th brigade was not present, and at that time it was still on the line of the combined forces for almost all of them, 99% of the military personnel.

it was a shock, nothing happened yet, but there are many columns, civilians are calling us there from henichesk and they say that there are 500 e-e armored vehicles going in convoys well, such convoys simply do not exist, well, i understand that this is an exaggeration, this is the only information that we have, and everyone has glass eyes, and what about relatives and what about this one, well, everyone just lost themselves and the radius just simply began to manage first the headquarters and the defense of mariupol and then well, i was on the stamp at the poklazov headquarters, and then we went out there and took actions in the security lane, not in our area of ​​responsibility, this is our own, this is god's initiative, because we understood that everyone was lost. and from that day on, the headquarters of the regiment began to work azov began to lead the radis and in the headquarters of the azov regiment, which was in charge of the defense of

mariupol, there were only azov citizens and the commander of the 12th brigade, denis, that communism of the 12th brigade . public order, protection of the courts, the national guard, there are too many questions, and we were always engaged in war, and he simply said, guys , i will not interfere with you, that i will help you, and that is, he communicated with some commanders there and so on of a higher rank, he did the right thing, he appointed radis officially to that is, in a voice through the mouth, it is said that he appointed radis to the deputies in charge of the troops, well, in fact , joy was in charge of everything and our headquarters was in charge of everything. what kind of person? well, i don’t see such people at all. all my life and i probably haven't seen this phenomenon yet,

as the azov regiment is a phenomenon, the azov regiment is a phenomenon because radis is financially sound, i think that's why he was sent to turkey because they believe that without radis here, everything will fall apart in the plan of someone's class, but they made a mistake, they didn't fall apart , we'll all fight and er, when radis returns , er, we will now try to make the most probable unit so that he leads him into battle , radis is that person, you know in war, sometimes commanders, i can do it directly say should give the command to go to the death in the war so come back alive it is very good but it does not work sometimes for the country

you have to die you have to die and such commands can only be given by a person who is ready to die also with his personnel randis such a person who can die for each his own be afraid of that there was such trust in him when we saw how they met with their relatives well, now you have tears welling up, i will tell you that we would have tears welling up, we are also sometimes sentimental well, he is for us uh, he is for us just the older brother who leads us and the brother himself, you understand, this is the brother, because he will stand with any soldier next to him and shoot. regardless , he will be a general, or an admiral, or someone else, it matters a lot when the commander has and the military man has no children. i ca

n't tell you because i don't have a hand, i don't have children. so, i think that solves it a little. they talked . well, for example, he is married, er, and i say that the radius you need a child already well, it's already a friend with whom we talked, not like there, the commanders and the chief are together no no no it's still given before of course i say well well you definitely have to leave the child in this world necessarily because well that the gene that you have that he should stay in this country is not very practical, you are right. yes, i am very

practical , i will not leave anyone behind, it will be solved somehow. that i would have a daughter and then daughters do you love your parents more, or your father, but i have a problem with the fact that, er, i am very practical and radical, and for me work comes first , and work is the protection of parents for the protection of the homeland, now the first thing is airplanes, we do not understand what politics is and politics is politics. and the war, the continuation of the policy of the blockade is a very painful topic and it is also a question.

quickly inserted quickly how well i don't know how i became so fast and quickly how well the camera is small and i won't hand in mine maybe you can try torture i'm not there rambo well i don't know if i will split there or not but i won't hand mine in i'll be in the game, there are officers, it's an honor to eat, who cooked, what did we eat as civilians, i'm a civilian, i'm more than 2,500 people. and until the majority of the 36th brigade surrendered, it was about 4,000 people, and everyone was provided by the rear of the regiment was called when we left for mariupol, and you were already there on the second day the third day well, we immediately planned a checkpoint in zostalia, ignatna, he just knocked on the door in azovstalia and told him everything. well, then we were no longer

prohibited because the first time they arrived there, they were in silpo, er, in mariupol, and according to the radar, that is, they just drove in and even they don't ask anyone or uh, i don't know, you know, i won't comment on where he was, how he was, i don't know mariupol, he wasn't there for a few days. and here, well, he said that he once went to work and there had already been shelling there, and that's why his the car turned around and drove in the other direction, but about the mayor i wanted to ask you what you know about him because he communicated quite actively through the mass media in the first days and in the first month, maybe more, he contacted and told what was happening on a dark background so that it seemed that i'm in mariupol and that's why i wanted to ask. i didn't just ask about the city government personally
