“So he betrayed the Ukrainians”: who gave the map of Azovstal to the Russians

The accounts do not add up: what happened around and withinAzovstal steel mill After the cease-fire ordered by Putin, it made him believe that something unexpected and pro-Russian had happened. But first you have to take a small step back and return the tape to a file April 26 when the Kremlin announced That he would not attack the last remaining fortress in Mariupol with Ukrainian civilians and soldiers to defend themselves inside the inaccessible local bunkers that had saved them for about two months. “We have closed the Azovstal perimeter, we need another three to four days to complete the effortShoigu said.I think it is not recommended to attack the industrial area.

The next day Happen or occur Something that is not part of the agreement: a new and heavy bombardment, very violent, perhaps the most powerful of all, but above all, the Russian soldiers managed to break through where they never could within weeks of the assault.

why?

It is not known whether he was forced to save his life or wanted to betray the Ukrainians, but what Gerashchenko says is more than credible. In spite of everything, Putin leaves in his hand a bunch of flies because his army is unable to capture the last fighters of the Azov Battalion even with detailed information, so much so that they withdraw immediately afterwards.
