On May 17, the Russian Ministry of Defence confirmed that the surrender of the militants of the nationalist Azov regiment and Ukrainian servicemen, who were blocked at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol began. Over the past day, 265 militants have laid down their arms and surrendered, including 51 seriously wounded. All those in need of medical care were sent for treatment to the hospital in Novoazovsk, Donetsk People’s Republic. The other were transferred to the village of Elenovka in the Donetsk People’s republic.
The surrender of the “garrison of Mariupol” continues. The Ukrainian fighters are disarmed, then they are sent to Novoazovsk or Elenovka.
On May 17, a Russian military reporter in Mariupol claimed that as of May 16, there were over 2.5 thousand AFU servicemen in the industrial zone, 404 of them were wounded. 55 servicemen were seriously injured. 200 corpses of dead fighters were frozen in refrigerators.
There were also three Russian prisoners, including an officer and two soldiers.
In total, 804 members of the Azov nationalist regiment were hiding in Azovstal. The others were servicemen of the 53rd, 54th, 56th separate brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the 36th separate brigade of Marines, 501st and 503 separate battalions of marines and 12 brigade The National Guard, which included “Azov”.
The military reporter added that the decision was made not to comment on the situation in Azovstal. The officials claims will be made by the Russian Ministry of Defence.
The Azov militants demined the road for the passage from the plant. The Russian military introduced the ceasefire regime:
In an attempt to justify the fall of the Ukrainian fortress, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine called the surrender of the AFU remnants from Azovstal a “delicate situation.” The Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine stated that the GUR, the AFU, the border service, the National Guard, the SBU, the National Police and Azov are carrying out a special operation to rescue defenders of Mariupol blocked on the territory of the Azovstal plant. If the operation was aimed at the transfer of the nazi fighters to the Russian military, it likely succeeded.
The Kiev regime continuesly claims that all the Ukrainian militants should be exchanged to the Russian prisoners of war. The Russian military officials have not confirmed any exchange so far.
Moreover, on May 17, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin ordered to work on the proposal of the members of the State Duma to prohibit the exchange of all Ukrainian Nazis to Ukraine. He added that this issue should be worked out jointly with the Defense and Security Committee.
“You are making the right offer. Nazi criminals should not be exchanged. These are war criminals. We must do everything to ensure that they face trial” Volodin summed up.
So this is the end? They are all surrendering? I guess we won’t find out for awhile how many foreigners were part of it. And the Nazis had to demine the road they mined. Fitting conclusion. In fact, ukie nazi forces should be placed into demining groups throughout Donbas.
Yea, kind of anticlimactic…. no heroic last stand to the last man, they just surrendered like Paulus in Stalingrad. I just hope there will be no mercy for them, no green buses of Idlib and other bullshit. Other ukrainian POWs can be exchanged. These can not.
I understand their hatred as Germans, but who turned these people into killers? I see the CIA and the US mercenaries who are also occupying Germany and destroying it economically. Our politicians are bought puppets of the US oligarchs. Elections are rigged, media forced to lie, what can I do to send the US filth to hell?
Exactly, all devil things come from the JUSA biblical Great Whore.
Those unlucky ones with tattoos won’t be exchanged, so words of advice kids, think twice before shaving your head and getting nazi tattoos, it could be your life or death matter
None of ASOV will be eligible for exchange – the DPR/LPR want them for trial.
Yes, they should demine the road they mined, but don’t exchange these criminals.
Are only wounded and some volunteers who surrender.
The fighting will continue.
No, its all but over, the ASOV leader Prokopenko publicly posted remarks about their surrender.
link?
check any newspaper on planet earth
Yea, you imbecile fuck. Today another 800 surrendered. Only the ‘president’ and ‘vicepresident’ nazi Kalina still sitting there in theirs rat holes.
Karl Popper: “If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.”
Voltaire: “It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.”
Take DNA swabs and use tape to recover trace evidence from their bodies. Confiscate their uniforms and boots. Label everything with photos and confiscated ID. Film them talking and walking so that civilian witnesses can ID them. Hold ALL POWs without exception until it can be shown there aren’t any war crimes charged to their unit, commander, or personally.
William Faulkner: “Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed”
Even then, participation in this battle using civilians as human shields is a war crime. Occupying civic structures as defensive positions thus inviting Russian defensive fire is also a crime against humanity. Holding civilians and children hostage for months underground in the Azovstal plant when credible offers of peaceful transportation to any other jurisdiction were made, is also a war crime, and a crime against humanity.
Chris Hedges: “We do not fight fascism because we expect we will win, we will fight them because they are fascists”
I don’t care if they were just following orders. They were willing to kill for Ukraine, but they weren’t wiling to defend human rights or follow widely and long held laws of war. So, at the least, they are all liable for charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, even if they didn’t pull the trigger once.
Lin Yutang: “When small men begin to cast long shadows, it means the sun is about to set.”
Agree completely. I do consider forced conscripts shoved to the front lines by Ukie leadership and nazi commanders to be eligible for exchange for Russian POW’s, who surely are suffering a horrid fate at the moment.
BTW they are not POW but POSMO
That would be a good idea but unfortunately, never trust a Nazi. It would be better to send them for hard labour into Siberia on short rations for life. Only just strong enough to lay gas and oil pipes etc etc but too weak to escape or fight. Make them want to die.
What type of uniforms are these from the Ukrainian soldiers?
Are they marines or Azov battalion too?
still no evidence of russian prisoner exchange, did russia receive prisoners or not?
Seems the Russians have not made a final decision on any exchanges.
The Fkn Ukie scum knee capped the Russian [prisoners by shooting them in the knee as they exited the bus. Then hammered their heads with Cdn donated rifle butts killing them. Cokehead penis playing faG#OT said oh boys will be boys.
You gonna cry over a bunch of russian barbarians without knees?
You will cry about your own knees soon
You gonna cry over a bunch of [west] Ukrainian neo-fascist’s hanging for war crimes?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA Hang em high
Ukraine just keeps on winning! Remember, it wasn’t really a surrender, it was an EVACUATION!
Heil Bandera! Heil VICTORY!
That was last week – in different location was mutual exchange of around 40 per side.
These ASOV are not going home, they are going to trial for war crimes in Donetsk & Lugansk.
This batch of prisoners aren’t going to be exchanged any time soon. They’re in for an extensive and entheusiastic “de-brief” once the cameras are off them and they’ve served their propaganda purposes. They will likely benefit from “vocational training” cleaning and rebuilding the DPR / LPR over the next decade or so.
GREAT news ! But…. there were a lot more fighters ! You said there were about 2000 … But for now only 265 had surrendered and another approximately 200 were found dead inside the factory. Where is this HUGE difference coming from? Or they simply say a multiplied number to discourage attacks, or they are hidden into bunkers, waiting for Russian to clean the factory (without finding them) and later, after long time (some months??) , to exit and be free.
russia blew them to confetti and burnt them to ashes with willy pete, must have killed 2k in a week because the head liar of ukroptia said there were 3 k there last week. great stuff, 2k waxed out pseudo failing nazis. too bad they didnt follow their leader, that would have been funnier But this is still pretty F’ing funny
Kinda long and you have to use machine translate but this is what’s really happening at the plant and commentary on Russian treatment of prisoners. Embedded reporter.

Great statement by Volodin : “You are making the right offer. Nazi criminals should not be exchanged. These are war criminals. We must do everything to ensure that they face trial”
Money can’t buy everything, and these human lookalike scumbags should of course never be given back to the Kiev-junta. Each and every one of these butchers should be tried and sentenced and then … well, you know what to do with them.
Have we caught the nato generals yet?
So much winning!
Remember, our Nazi troops didn’t really surrender, they simply EVACUATED!
All hail Father Bandera! Victory is ours!
So they will not go into history books as “300” or “Alamo” after all these promises
awwww is that all you got after your little bugs got squished? Any NATO Soldier, foreign Soldier, mercenary or other not in Ukrainian reg army will never be shown or seen again.
A “delicate” situation indeed.

Which is why Erdogan and Macron don’t want to be humiliated when both their countries brass like the U.$. and U.K. get identified.
To Vlad Putin. It will be a dishonoring and betrayal with no equivalent for the Russian men and women fighting and dying in this conflict not to make that humiliation complete with a war crimes tribunal and excoriation in a Moscow court of law that will be seeing all of them “swinging from the ends of ropes”!…
Your move Mr. Chess player!
You poor russophile losers actually read nutjob crap like thetruthseeker? LOL
More trustworthy (and better journalism) than CNN and BBC, lol.
Have we caught the nato generals yet?
You poor Anglophile losers actually read nutjob crap like bellingcat? LOL
AFU’s azovstal mission was neither completed nor were the fighters evacuated. Azovstal was captured and afu soldiers surrendered and were taken prisoners.
Yep. Reuters confirmed it. “More than 250 Ukrainian troops surrender as Mariupol siege appears over”
More than 300
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahagahagahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha where are all the 15k azovs that bucled 15 russian btgs for 3 months? With no ammunitior or food. And they cl thís a vicyory?What a losers? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahagahagahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
the had plenty of food, took hostages, were hiding behind civilinas, after countless promo videos of how they will fight to death they gave up, looks like azov flop to me and now they try to save face by calling it evacuation
Yup, Ukraine is totally winning! This wasn’t even a surrender at all. It was an EVACUATION, and the Russians graciously provided our Nazi troops with an armed escort for their evacuation!
Heil Bandera!!!!
Hy, Selenskij, are you the idiot making a clown?
Ukraine is winning decisively according to arma 3 and milsim. That’s enough proof for western bustards to rejoice.
just curious … is there still resistance in Azovstal and these were just some of the defenders that surrendered or is it over? Our media says nothing … On a different note. Romania’s Vote in Eurovision was canceled and changed to an average vote of other states, because NOBODY voted for Ukraine, so it “must have been faked”. Just so russians know where Romania stands ! Good luck boys!
Quote Reuters: “More than 250 Ukrainian troops surrender as Mariupol siege appears over”. Their message: siege is over.
The sequence might have been like this: 1. AFU on peripherals of Azovstal negotiated a surrender. 2. Kiev in the damage control put a narrative “Mission compelled /evacuation” 3. Now the question is what is going to do the main force of AFU in middle of Azovstal. Are they going to fight till last man or are they going to go out with tail between legs
the Ukro nazi jew parazites are in a delicated situation…..killing is civilians is very beauty and hide like rats also !!! take more coke and shut the f ck !! you win the eurogayroboticdigitalvision !! so enjoy the show !!!!
There might have been less Ukie soldiers in Mariupol city than claimed 8,100. First Kiev claimed 14,000-20,000. Then early March RF intelligence mentioned 8,100. I’m not surprised if they real figure of Ukies have been less than 6,000 when war begun 24 Feb.
it is surrendering, not evacation.
it is evacuation .. to the prisoner’s camp :)
Huge symbolic victory for Russia, the DPR and LPR. The Azov fighters are headed to Donetsk where they will face trial and sentences will be handed out for their crimes. There will be no prisoner exchange of Azov fighters for Russian troops, don’t believe the BS lies of the Ukrainian government trying to spin this Russian victory as a negotiated deal, a PR stunt. This is the beginning of the end for Ukraine. Ukraine is running out of fuel, huge lines at the gas pumps for Ukrainians, the country has less than 10 days of gasoline reserves and after the gasoline runs out the people will begin to protest and demand an end to this unwinnable war.
Their refineries are all destroyed and probably not many truck drivers volunteering for duty on fuel convoys from Poland.
Right, Russia is targeting and neutralizing all fuel depots.
DEBEN TENER TUBERIAS SECRETAS BAJO TIERRA DESDE POLONIA COMO EN LA SEGUNDA GUERRA MUNDIAL DEBAJO DEL CANAL DE LA MANCHA
They will remember that Russians treated them fairly. It will spread. Overall, the only logical move. Perhaps some concessions can finally be made by politicians to end this conflict altogether.
The Russians should not “end this conflict” until all the south is secured along with Kharkov, Sumy, Donbass. In the south talking Odessa and west to Moldova. After that happens then peace can be talked about.
For what purpose? To make rich richer and poor even more poor and in a wheelchair?
It is wise to treat these ASOV pigs well for this moment. It disrupts the US/Kiev Regime BS propaganda narrative about the ‘savage Russians’. Which is exactly why there is virtual silence about these events in today’s western MSM. It means other far less committed Ukrainian AUF conscripts might well start to surrender, if they see that even these most-wanted ASOV pigs are being treated okay. Revenge is dish best served cold, and these ASOV pigs can be tried later for their war crimes against east civilians.
Redaction, quit calling it evacuation, this is pure SURRENDER. By calling it evacuation you give credit to zelenski regime
So much bravery and heroism, meanwhile taking hostages and hiding behind women and kids, not so long ago they were saying they’ll fight to the end, didn’t they? If they were going to surrender why they didn’t do that 2 months ago when had a chance. I guess the so called accomplished mission was to completely obliterate the city and surrender afterwards.
And now for more European media clown world news lol.
Reuters mocked over paintball image in Ukraine conflict report https://www.rt.com/news/555639-reuters-ukraine-war-paintball/
hahaaaa embarrassing holy hell the western media outlets treat their citizens as half baked autistic low IQ minions
No wonder Russia is single-handedly outsmarting and outmaneuvering 30 plus nato nations
Western media says evacuation underway at azovstal. Actually afu was defeated and capturing of afu soldiers is underway at azovstal
So, this “prisoners ex-change” idea is just a Ukrainian dream?, the mainstream media is taking for granted there will be a “prisoner exchange” LOL!!!
It was a surrender, and they are POW’s, this isn’t and evacuation.
Siberia is nice this time of year
Yes ,the can get settled before winter sets in
it’s full of mosquitos
PROGRESS HERE IS what progress looks like IN THIS CONFLICT. 1000 NAZIS dead, wounded or captured EVERY DAY. 100s of pieces of military hardware destroyed EVERY DAY, over a billion dollars of infrastructure destroyed EVERY DAY, and maybe a 100 square km of Ukraine captured and secured EVERY DAY. THIS IS GONNA TAKE A WHILE.
I almost feel sorry for all the Dead NAZIS. NOT.
Wise move Ukrainians, the hammer is reserved for the scums, the eh…. nazis, as convinsing as ISIS/Al-CIAeda is, but, their problem was beliving, stupid people tend to cults, witch usually are lead by scums, racketeers, to foreign Intell orgs, verry, verry common. They will be rightfully punished, and should not expect mercy, mercy, Ukrainians is something that must be erned, just like trust, its not candy. But never forget who set your nation up for total destruction, and everything we persive is the result of their war against Russia.
