Mop up operations are still ongoing in the city of Mariupol. The Russian military and the armed forces of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) continue to corner the remaining troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and the Azov nationalists in the key port city.
As of April 7, out of 14 000 soldiers of the AFU, including servicemen of the Azov regiment, besieged in Mariupol a month ago, around three thousand are still fighting. The center of the city and almost all administrative buildings have come under the control of Russian and DPR troops.
AFU units and Azov fighters are divided into three groups, which are besieged at the Azovstal, the Ilyich plant, and the seaport area.
Assault units of the DPR People’s Militia and the Armed Forces of Russia, including Chechen soldiers of the regiment named after the Hero of Russia Akhmat-Hadji Kadyrov, have already entered the territory of Azovstal.
The assault on the plant began from the northern direction, under close artillery fire and airstrikes from the Russian Aerospace forces, but the advance faces fierce resistance from Azov fighters.
The artillery of the Russian military and the DPR pounded the remnants of the AFU and Azov in the port of Mariupol. According to the DPR, the besieged nationalists burned a number of ships in the port, including the Donbass command ship of the Ukrainian Navy.
According to unconfirmed reports by Russian military commanders on the ground and several sources, NATO officers, including high-ranking commanders of the US and European Armies may be blocked in Mariupol. The reports about NATO commanders taking shelter with Azov militants in Mariupol may explain why NATO member states especially France and Turkey insist on carrying out a humanitarian mission in Mariupol, but only with the participation of their military.
On the other fronts in the Donbass, heavy fighting continues. The Russian military and the armed forces of the DPR and the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) continue to push forward in the region of Izyum despite fierce resistance from the AFU, nationalist units and foreign mercenaries. Joint forces are moving towards Barvenkovo and Slavyansk.
At the same time, joint Russian-DPR forces continue to advance west of Donetsk city. The village of Sladkoe came under their control on April 7.
Developing the offensive, the grouping of the Russian Armed Forces completely blockaded the village of Novomikhailovka and began to mop up the nationalists inside.
In pursuit of the retreating units of the 54th Mechanised Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Russian units have also blockaded the city of Ugledar and are now fighting on its outskirts.
Meanwhile, the Russian military continued its missile strikes on military targets in different parts of Ukraine.
On April 6 and 7, air- and sea-launched missiles destroyed four fuel storage bases near Nikolaev, Zaporozhye, Kharkov and Chuguev from which Ukrainian forces were supplied with fuel near Kharkov, Nikolaev and Donbass.
A strike with air-launched missiles also hit a cluster of Ukrainian military equipment at the Novograd-Volynsky railway station in the Zhytomyr region. As a result of the strike, equipment prepared for deployment to the Donbass was destroyed.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, on April 7, Russian air-defense systems shot down two Ukrainian military helicopters in the air, a Mi-8 and a Mi-24, near the city of Kherson. Also destroyed were six drones near Novoselovka II, Chervonaya, Novogradovka, Ilovaisk, Khartsizsk and three other drones, including two Bayraktar TB-2s, over the settlements of Krivoy Rog and Trudovoi.
According to the most recent briefing by the Russian Ministry of Defense, 125 Ukrainian warplanes, 95 helicopters, 416 unmanned aerial vehicles, 227 anti-aircraft missile systems, 2,003 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 220 multiple launch rocket systems, 869 field artillery and mortars, as well as 1,902 units of special military vehicles have been destroyed since the beginning of the Russian special military operation.
The city of Mariupol will likely remain the hottest front for the next few days. The Russian military and the armed forces of the DPR and LPR will not likely develop their offensive on the other fronts in Donbass before Mariupol is fully secured.
I agree. They have been “mopping up” Mariupol for how long now?
I can send my cleaning lady to mop up, if she would take 4 weeks for it I would call her an imposter.
You’re losing!! Hahaha…..
Johan is a Ho’ han.
The funniest thing I remember is when Albright went to an EU meeting in Brussels and was mistaken for a mop lady come to clean the halls.
That was during the Rambouillet meetings between the Serbs and Albanians. There was a appendix added on that which specifically made it impossible for Serbia to sign, & the U.S. lawyers and politicians wanted the Albanians to sign it and the Serbs to refuse because that meant in their psychopathic minds that they could go to war. I guess as some kind of “proof” that they tried to negotiate with Serbia. However, the Albanians were reluctant to sign it and were taking a long time. So Albright came to their room to see what they were doing or hurry them along and they told her to go away as they thought she was the cleaning lady.
How long did it take US forces to “mop up” Bagdad? Oh thats right they didnt. What about Nato and Serbia? 2 years. What about Afghanistan? 18 years and still nothing?
MOUT is a dirty business, and if you have a fanatical force that is deeply entrenched, and if you read the article, there’s about 3000 of them left. That’s a lot of potential defilade and with urban patterning of buildings it can create a lot of potential for traps.
The Russian federation forces are taking their time presumably to reduce their casualty ratios.
Russia has time on their side, AFU forces and Azov do not.
Too complicated for colonel general.. she wanna just go getum.
Have we caught the NATO general yet?
Yes, 2 of them.
Why not you be the first in…lead the way?
Interesting.
You ask why Mariupol has not fallen yet and 11 people downvote you.
You lay out procedures for reducing an enemy defending on urban terrain and 44 people upvote you.
ะะพ ะฟะพะฑะตะดะต
ะดะพ ะฟะพะฑะตะดั, ะดะพ requires Genitive. Apart from that i fully agree.
It’s correct in serbian.
Because Azov rats will fight to the death.
Russians also, they have no choice forced to fight and be killed or defect and be killed by the leaders! Very motivating choice. Ukraine choice rather to be killed in a fight as to be made a Russian zombie slave.
Half of Azov are picked off by the Chechens and the other half are fragged by the AFU.
How about those surrendering 200+ troops. How many Azov do you think they had to frag before they waved their white flags? I’ll betch’ya it was a whole lot.

let them fight to the death.
Just throw a big roach motel baited with some borscht in there and jobs done.
Urban fights are one the most dangerous and costly engagements in a war. For the size of the city Mariupol, the urbanized level, and the 8 years preparedness of the ukrop NATO cock suckers defenses russians must be rated as the best military force in the world. Taking into consideration that for all NATO forces and more others it took almost 3 month to conquer Fallujah, a hut-city, in plain desert, with daily dozens of air bombings and a mob style islamist defenders.
The Russians are not only fighting Azov Nazis, but also NATO soldiers there.
RUSSIA MUST BE RATED AS THE FASTEST MILITARY FORCE IN THE WORLD THAT RUN AWAY FROM BATTLE, THEY RUNNED AWAY FROM KIEV THE FASTEST EVER.
Ukraine’s victory is not far off! ะัััะฝ ะฝะต ะฒััะธัั ั ะฒะปะฐัะฝั ะฐัะผัั ั ะฒะดะฐััััั ะดะพ
At least 80 Russian marines refused to participate in the war against Ukraine after they were landed in Kherson Oblast having realized that they were not going to exercise, according to the media project Graty’s sources in law enforcement agencies of occupied Crimea. The most recently imprisoned occupant spoke about it at a drinking session at the SBU. He said that the army command introduced the practice of “shooting squads”, which follow the main Russian forces and kill those who want to enter.
In his words, in the course of the infiltration of Ukraine, the occupying army is beginning to realize that they are far from having a peacekeeping mission.
“But we have been given to understand that we will not go back, because the convoys are following us, killing deserters who are trying to return home,” the colonel admits.
Having now become a collaborator in the atrocities, the occupant is proud that they did not have the spirit to commit crimes like the marines of the Russian Federation: “…In Odessa, 600 marines huddled together and did not leave the ship, because they understood what was happening”.
The occupying army has been demoralized and put down.
Who told you that bollocks?LOL!!
CNN of course.
I got paid a few bob to write rollocks.. of to finnish me hoamwurk, like, yeah.. fa skool tumorra.. see ya.
No gas, no supplies, surrounded and NO ONE COMING TO HELP YOU!
Keep jabbering and spewing your mindless shit.
No chance! nato/azov b and isis took the gold,silver and bronze by astonishing margin.
And they runned down to the big roast at the Eastern cauldron, eh? Join ’em for a snack? 160,000 to cook.. lotsa protein.
Wrong. Russia did that as part of the negotiations. It did it as it thought it would decrease the level of hostility, but they foolishly miscalculated. Ukraine then used it to stage the Bucha propaganda where they put about 8 bodies, spaced well-apart, in the middle of the street for display. Only someone wanting to do negative propaganda for the Russians would do it that way, not Russians themselves.
But with less loses of soldiers and far less killing and raping of civilians. But of course Russian soldiers are expendable and the murdering of civilians – as in previous wars – is part of the Russians’ war strategy.
Plus there are also Soviet built underground bunkers and tunnels. So it is a very, very tough nut to crack. But if they are holding back to try and get some of these NATO officers/assets out alive, they should forget about it. Actually if they had the ability they should have destroyed it weeks ago.
Russia has made mistakes in this war but I dont think Mariupel is one of them. Clearing out a massive city full of 9 story buildings takes time. But also you got civilian basement, military bunkers and underground passages. It’s like Fallujah but on steroids.
I would say until now they have not made one good decision, except from redrawing from Kiev. And even the a future taking from Mariupol will be a Phyrric victory. The fight of Mariupol will be the start of many legends of heroic Ukraine so-called nazi fighters and Russian cowards.
Your mother makes good decisions she likes to suck my big DICKโฆ
I hear ya’. Ukraine has a real soft spot for making war criminals into heroes.
It took months to remove tbe Nazis from Staingrad.
They’d call Zaitsev in again but that super duper afghan sniper merc only lasted 2 hrs, so no need.
If NATO commanders are here perhaps a surrender can be signed by a captured one which could be binding at least for some purposes.
NATO, like its US master and its Ukraine underling, never met an agreement it wouldn’t break before the ink was dry.
Step by step, no need to hurry, they rats are going nowhere.
They might escape through the sewers though. You know what Zelensky said about them: “rats are what they are and they do what they do”.
Yeah i presume the same. There’s a large network of tunnels for them to at least hide out.
Wasn’t there talk about flooding the Azovstal complex?
How long did it take to “mop” up Raqqa? With how many casualties? Azovstal is probably built like a fort, as most important industry are.
It are only Russians, who matters.
Hell, they could just do what we did and bomb the HCl acid tanks, and nothing of Azov left to clean up afterwards.
A chemical attack would immediately lead to NATO getting in, and probably, with UN approval, too.
NATO would be met with nukes.
There is clearly something or someone in Mariupol that the Russians want to secure before beginning a new phase. I do not pretend to know what that is but it is clearly part of their plan; it is probably something informational they will use to justify the next phase of action to the world at large. If there is any credence to the rumors of NATO personnel being present they are likely being held hostage by ultranationalist Ukrainian forces, as these men know the Russians are going to kill them. Desperate men do desperate things.
NATO commanders would be directing Azov this could unravel a lot of propaganda.They would have more value alive than dead ,well maybe not.
There is a Bio-Lab and torture center in the bowels of the huge steelworks plant in Mariupol, that’s the rumor. That’s where Azov and the missing NATO military advisers are now located. If captured it would look extremely bad for the West so it’s possible that these NATO advisers have already been killed by the Ukrainians on the orders of the NeoCons and their bodies burnt to dust. The Russians are thinking of flooding the lower levels of the steelworks prior to going all in. When this mop up is complete, we are going to hear about some very evil work that was going on there.
do you have any links to these rumors? what you posted seems plausible.
I have but i wont share it with the enemy of mankind,figure it all out for yourself!
Hahahahaha
Think special operations personal. Just like old Joe said. There are spl operators in Ukraine today.
Also talk of underground biolabs,
The Zombielords in Mariupol will fight untill the last zombie
The fucking buffering is so fucking annoying.
You can download the video if you see the symbol at bottom right. It takes a while but it works.
The time-consuming mop up is because the Russians are trying to avoid killing Ukrainian civilians. It take time to shoot around human shields. These poorly constructed psyops and false flags are necessary for the US to demonize the Russians.
It should be noted that the US dropped more bombs and shot more rockets into Baghdad on the first night of its “shock and “awe” than the US forces have used in this entire operation.
Dammed good fighter those Azov heroes!
Cannon Fodder for the Zionist NeoCon rodents, kind of like you.
Heroes? they don’t even have a plan if they won this. they just like to kill do drugs rape and repeat.
Not too shabby for the nato compulsory dead men brigades!
Yes, Nazis have always been good fighters, you could see from Hitler’s SS hordes, who are the model for the Azov rabble.
You must be fucking kidding. PUSSY.
SF please just stop it already! You’ve been saying Mariupol will fall for the last 5 weeks and this still has not happened. Post again in 3 months time when Mariupol is almost liberated
You should be happy about this Liberation, unless you’re a Nazi. Are you a Nazi?
How’s that Joint Forces Operation going in Donbas? Has the Ukraine regained Donbas and Crimea?
That is nothing compared to watching ukraines leaders fugly head allover the joint begging for freebies like the long play grammaphone,so to save the new world order establishment of skulls n bones uniteds (sic)
WANKER
It takes time to dig out all those NATO and US commanders. Once again the American people have been lied to. I am starting to question why I pay my taxes. To support this bull shit. It will take longer to clean out the swamp in DC.
Bless your soul and spread the good word
What a mess
Well, the Russian military are going to have to start destroying convoys of weapons shipments soon, But I’m sure their Intel is already on it. (And keep your head down, Igor!)
Yes expect the Kalibr family to turn up in Western Ukraine.
Moppin’ the blues…
look at 3:03, despite them admitting that they withdrew from around kyiv, their map still shows the old lines from weeks ago, this is incredible, they keep using the same map over and over again
What is incredible is the relentless stream of ridiculous nonsense coming from you Ukrotards. The Anglsophere media, which peddles nothing but CIA/Ukrotard propaganda, acknowledges that the Russians are obliterating the Ukrotards. Nobody believes that the Ukrotards are winning.
Problem is the guy has made a valid point, as the maps being used have barely changed over a month. Following a strategy of going slow to avoid casualties is noble, but stupid with regards to fighting an existential war. You can fight a cauldron war with more men and a quicker timetable. Ukraine in NATO is an existential threat to Russia. It is no time to mess around worrying about limiting casualties. Mariupol has been besieged for a month, obliterate it. The propaganda war has been lost, so just bomb the plant and get it over with. The longer this lasts the greater the chances of having lots of mushroom clouds being created around the globe. All over a problem that should have been dealt with in 2014.
I think maybe the Russians want to capture the NATO guys. It would be a great propaganda coup and extremely embarrassing for the West. All out assault would just annihilate them all.
The NATO forces were in Western Ukraine near the Polish boarder and a number of them were killed. It would INDEED be an embarrassment for the West……Fuck joe biden—> the thief-in-chief
BTW where is Joe? Still aimlessly wondering around the Whitehouse and looking for his car?
hunter biden where is? in mariupol fighting heroic red army?…or hiding with some boys to fuck as he did for years in ukronazia?
No he is behind you f*** off
But a lot of those killed were mercenaries – including from non-NATO countries. There were Argentinians or Brazilians. The survivors quickly left after that realizing it wasn’t just a safari.
At this point I think it is better just to smash them. Actually if they could do it, it would have been better if they did it a week or two ago. The longer it goes on the worse.
I like men
the amount of trolling and downright stupid comments here is beyond the pale. I don’t get it.
Yes. More mature avatars like yours. I’m through withcha.
Tee hee your name sounds like my cunt
I wanna suck your cock Like the crazy Canadian that I am
Because the steelworks and port area are massive so its having to be taken piece by piece,i am sure you have seen the state of Mariuopl,its devastated thats because the Nazis turned it into Stalingrad,it was taken building by building,in the steelworks area there were about 3000 of those Azov freaks and their pals.
These huge factories were build during USSR times and to be operational in the war. With all these bomb shelters etc. Not easy to crack with these Russian firecrackers what they are using right now over there
I read something about Russians considering flooding it.
I have a question? What has the Azov battalion, Ukrainian forces and civilians been eating for over a month?
that is a good question. N doubt those planning the defense made sure to allocate provisions but they must be running out of everything by now
As much as you would like them to eat each other, I don’t think even Azov is insane enough to acquire that taste.
