Fierce fighting continues in the main sections of the front in eastern Ukraine.
The Azovstal plant in Mariupol is being mopped up.
Fighters of the Azov nationalist regiment continue to offer fierce resistance, while servicemen from other units are used as live assets to locate firing positions of the DPR and Russian Defence Ministry units, i.e. as bait. If an opportunity arises, AFU and National Guard servicemen surrender. On April 20, over 30 people in total surrendered. The captives report that Azov fighters keep another AFU units under control, to the point that any movement is forbidden without the consent of an Azov specific fighter supervising them.
Families of Azov fighters are reportedly being held in underground communications and bunkers at Azovstal.
The Russian political leadership has already provided humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of civilians directly from Azovstal’s territory many times. Another corridor was provided on April 20. Not a single civilian from the territory of Azovstal was released. On April 19, it was announced that over 100 people were evacuated, however, these were the residents of the residential areas directly adjacent to Azovstal.
There is dissatisfaction among Russian and DPR Armed Forces units over such strange actions of the command, as tactical pauses in combat operations suspend the development of success in clearing the factory area and give the Azov regiment time to rest and regroup.
For its part, the Azov regiment has no problem with water and food due to its huge reserves. There is still a central water supply for a part of the plant area. According to reports from the battle area, there is even internet access.
Nevertheless, on 20 April, there was another panic-like appeal from Azov commanders blocked inside the factory to the leaders of third countries (UK, Turkey, US, etc.) to ensure their evacuation to those countries.
“Our Last Days Or Hours”: Azov Militants Appeal To The World, Beg For Their Evacuation From Ukraine
On 20 April, it was reported that AFU units were forced to withdraw from Rubizhne and Kreminna.
Heavy street fighting is taking place in Popasna.
On 20 April, there was no significant advance of Russian Armed Forces units from Izyum in the direction of Barvenkovo and Slovyansk. The AFU sent its main reserves to this very area, which resulted in intense fighting that curtailed the Russian offensive. The AFU is also strengthening the defences of Seversk, Yampole and Krasny Lyman.
Reportedly captured AFU armoured vehicles, including a T-64 tank, during the 20 April fighting in this direction.
In Zaporizhzhia oblast active fighting is taking place east of Huliaipil (Hulyaipole, Gulyai Pole), troops are advancing west of Velyka Novosilka, having occupied several settlements. There is no change on the Kamenskoye-Orekhov-Hulyaipole line.
In the Ugledar area, intense fighting is taking place near Novomikhailovka-Ugledar and Velyka Novoselka. Two settlements are taken south of Velyka Novoselka by units of the Russian Armed Forces.
There are no offensive actions near Mykolaiv. The Russian Armed Forces are striking at targets in Mykolaiv and south of Nikopol. The Ukrainian Armed Forces try to respond in the direction of Kherson. Fighting is taking place in settlements between Kherson and Mykolaiv.
At around 20:00-21:00 local time on 20 April, the Ukrainian armed forces began striking rear settlements in the DPR. A significant increase in the number of AFU drones in the skies over the DPR and LPR has been reported. Air defence assets are actively operating.
East of Donetsk, over the town of Shakhtyorsk, DPR air defence assets intercepted a Tochka-U missile with cluster munition allegedly fired by the Ukrainian armed forces. At the same time, explosions and civilian casualties have been reported. The DPR territorial defence headquarters reported that at least three adults were wounded and one child was killed in Shakhtersk.
Heavy explosions recorded in Zhdanivka and Nizhnyaya Krynka, ten kilometres north of Donetsk – Shakhtarsk line, also in the DPR rear.
The intensification of shelling of the DPR’s rear may be a sign that the Ukrainian armed forces are preparing active operations in the region in order to divert Russian and DPR forces from other areas of military operations.
If such an attempt succeeds, it would mean the loss of the strategic initiative of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the transition of the conflict to the stage of a protracted war, where the forces of NATO countries will be directly or indirectly involved on the side of Ukraine.

Can’t the Russians just flood Azovstal?
No. They aren’t in a position yet to do so (it’s not like they’re camping on top the entire complex), even if they could, which I doubt is remotely practical in the first place.
It would be practical to pump in sewer water. Bacteria would rot all not properly stored food reserves. Also the stench would be unbearable in closed quarters and it would force the cave dwellers to come out. Fresh air is also needed to survive.
its how Dostum cleared Kala i jang prison outside Mazar when the taliban revolted and murdered the cia dude with their bare hands and got into the armoury. This is how the american “Traitor” John Walker was caught when the water got up to thier necks 80 of em gave up. I propose using fugas as a substitute or fentynal in the air systems. they can wake up to the noose.
No need, the Nazis are starving and demoralized. Their government is not sending any help. They can last about 2 months. Disease, lack of hygiene will kick in. Soon there will be infighting among them, suicide, desertions. Just wait, no need to waste Russian lives.
They have underground green houses. They have warehouses of food, they probably even have underground goats for milk. Only Some of them were starving. One could fit 50 mansions down there. Send in teargas.
I hope they dont have tunnels that leave them to safety. Or equipment to make tunnels.
CNN reports US fear that billions of dollars poured into Ukrainian military are “disappearing into a black hole” and are ending up with Russian allies such as the Chechen, Iranians, Hezbollah and Donetsk People’s Republic Forces. Meanwhile the Chechen supported by Spetsnaz and IRGC advisers have mopping up the last remaining Nazi terrorist rats hiding behind women and children hostage human shields.
Chechen chief says Russia forces will control Mariupol steel plant on Thursday
Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Russia’s republic of Chechnya, has said Russian and allies forces would be in complete control of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol on Thursday.
“Before lunchtime, or after lunch, Azovstal will be completely under the control of the forces of the Russian Federation,” he said in an audio message posted online.
Chechen forces, along with Hezbollah and elements of Iranian IRGC have been fighting in Ukraine as part of Russia’s military operation. Iranian sources speaking on the condition of anonymity have stated that over 7,000 UAF and Nazi terrorists were killed in the Avozstal operation and there are around 900 UAF and Nazi wounded along with 1100 human shields. The Chechen and allies are mopping up the remaining armed Nazis is basement hand to hand fighting. At last report there were less than 50 remaining terrorists remaining and are expected to be eliminated by nightfall. Most of the sprawling Azovstal complex, largest in Europe remains intact and its capture will be a huge boost to Russian economy and industrial production.
Kadyrov can be bit over excited at the times, but otherwise nice guy. I’m sure it will happen soon :)
It is all over, as I had predicted earlier: The UAF Nazis were all talk.
“Mariupol has been liberated by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the forces of the People’s Militia of the Donetsk People’s Republic,” Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu said at a meeting with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow http://v.aa.com.tr/2569168
He is so sexy. I’m Cushing petty hard for him.
Swell (who ever you are)
I told you from the beginning that Zelensky is a KGB spy.
Pathetic Russian leadership will probly let them go.
Pathedic gutless usa leadership wants them all dead to hide bio lab evidence.
I heard they even have an Israeli vaccination clown down there.
Seal them off and pour chlorine gas in.
I don’t think they are starving or demoralized. They’ve been told to surrender or die so many times it appears to be an empty threat at this point. As far as the families of the NAZIS in the bunkers, I have no comment on their safety.
U must be blind, they still have mains water supply and huge food reserve did u not read. Hate fuking bots like u making shit up
Dont like it here,then fukoff,just because you want them all dead,but listen up,there are many comfirmations of cia bio lab rigs dead nazis or not is irrelevant,but what is relevant the globohomos cia powerplays are going to the dustbin of history as usa falters finance, Russian leadership are not just stronger but also wiser than any degenerate askenazi khazar world order you can bet your life on endless hyperinflation and no free lunch here on in,and thats the way the cookie crumbled even before the burnt offering ever again. Dont like it,sorry i offended and one more thing fuk you! RUSSIA STOCKS URRP!
You are right that Khazar infested countries experienced degenerative subversion
Azovstal would seem a good use for a Khinzal missile.
Agree with SouthFront and the Russian troops. Get this over with. These thickheaded, brainwashed AZOV only understands one thing: death.
The Russians already started mopping
“Can’t the Russians just flood Azovsta” …with gas maybe. O/W lots of casualties in order to take it to the Humane way.
Don’t think they will, they suspect NATO & USA commanders active in mariupol are with this battalion in azovstal factory for reasons
I would prefer it if they killed a couple thousand NATO troops, American soldiers and mercenaries and a couple generals down there. Those criminally insane ass holes created this mess and risked starting WW3 in pursuit of this cluster ****. This country will not act responsibly in the global community until our blood soaked hands are the blood of Americans. It’s a shitty thing to say but it’s the only way to stop a mass extinction WW3 event. It only take one nuclear strike on one nuclear power facility to trigger that mass extinction event.
nope. more value alive for intelligence and in a prison in Moscow awaiting trial a long time. Also as swap for Russia prisoners and / or concessions from NATO,
In theory they can, but that would cause major damage to the plant. There is no need as the Nazi racist drug addicts are on their knees begging their US and Zionist masters to save them. As I have objectively been stating since February 24th beginning of Operation Z, the Russians will win and have prevailed. As president Putin accurately said, the western cowards are just prolonging the agony of the Ukrainian people who with the exception of the Jews, most Ukrainians are kin to Russians. The Red Army as received very warm welcome as liberators in the Don Bas and has advanced on a front line 420 kms long and at various places around the Dnieper River, Russian advance is 230 kms deep.. Ukraine has ceased to exist.
As even US military has now acknowledged, the UAF and their Nazi terrorists have suffered immense and fatal losses. The US DOD tally for Ukrainian losses is pretty much close to my analysis posted 3 days ago.
Aircraft destroyed damaged or captured 131 ( no Ukrainian fighter jets of MIg-29 and SU 27 class left).
Ukrainian Tanks destroyed, captured or immobilized 2,237
APC, trucks. tankers, tank transporters and other all terrain vehicles destroyed or captured 5,543
Radars stations totally destroyed 26 along with all most mobile BUK, SA-2/5 and S-300
Major Ukrainian Naval Ships destroyed, captured or scuttled 15. Patrol boats captured or incapacitated 37
Major air bases destroyed 12.
In last 48, Russian air sorties including missile and drones attacks have reached 1168 sorties. Ukraine is being turned to rubble by the minute and it would be wise for the sane Ukrainian patriots to get rid of the basement dwelling coward Jew clown Zelensky and sue for peace. UKRAINE HAS LOST!
If this war is racism vs antifascism, I will have to switch from Russia to supporting Ukraine. Without racism, Europe will get Brazilified and that is maximum evil.
No future in fascism nor the lgbtq protesty problem child,your the loser traitors!
Croatia is waiting in line for the denazification.
Then the 150 odd Leopard 1’s will do less than nothing and even now the German government can’t agree if they are even going to send them. This is the support the US politicians promised Ukraine before this conflict heated up? I wonder if they will ever make that mistake again? Clearly, they learnt nothing from Poland and Czechoslovakia’s experiences last century.
I doubt Germany has 150 operational tanks. And if they do, they won’t have anything left after giving them away. LMAO. Actually its good news to learn Germany has military hardware at all. I thought our military activity was constraint to praying for rescue by unicorns in mosques.
Neither have the polaks or czechs learnt for that matter,poland used to build huge ships, now they banter on the odd rare spares and the rest of time watching mr dance with heels?
G2 man, you forgot to mention Galicia and its people (south Poland / west Ukraine). I think that where the Bandera comes from. They are not Slavic, but “true” Poles/Ukrainiens
Poland is Slavic nation. Always was. There is even higher percentage of Slavic people here than in Russia.
They are mongrelised askenazi fugly dogs from persia or some other isis run state! on the other hand they never built anything compared to slavics,banderas are just a minion tartan like dogsht community and they sure look it too fugly as hell!
jsjsjjjdd
Yes the German Danzig Werft, that was one of the prime shipyards where in WW1 and afterwards large amounts of high-quality ships were built, but now after first soviet and later polish people taking it, it is done, finished, bankrotted. Very sad that everybody always speaks against Germans, when in fact they were the ones building high qualitly infrastructure and factories, machinery and agrar-economy everywhere. But instead of learning and benefiting from them, lots of other nations (especially UK, France, Russia, USA – and of course the jews behind that nations) became envy and therefore started hatemongering against it, and have now finally managed to occupy and destroy that formerly great nation, and today twisting the true history in a way as if Germany was “the bad one”.
You want them to dig a way from the ocean to there while in a battlefield? Then how will they make sure the water goes all the way? Because it is not a downward slope all the way.
There will be no flooding, there are civilians there.
It sure worked with Moskva hahahahaha
On Iwo-Jima, months after the battle ended, there were still over 1000 Japanese underground. They surrendered only months after the war had ended. The Americans never bothered to go inside the tunnels. Too costly and the Japanese had nowhere to go anyway. Let the Ukro’s stay underground and put some 3rd-rate units to guard the entrance.
That is what Putin had just ordered for the Azovstal.
Do you understand how big is the undeground maze in the Azovstal? And there are civilians too!
Putin had ordered the stop of the attack on Azovstal. The will block it instead.
be satisfied the pain and suffering azov is protracted. may it last as long as it takes to rid this planet from maggots and bottom feeders. may their families in the basements suffer more. may their children drink piss from muddy puddles, may their wives choke on stale oxygen and may their coward husbands die a million deaths a day until their spirit is crushed. Them we can hang the survivors, ALL of them so we dont make the same mistake that was made in 1945-46 b7 letting even one of these pond scum bottom feeders live past the sell by date.
Hallo! I’ve been sucking too much cocks lately and i got addicted! please i will suck it for free to support my fellow ukro-nazis!
go to jens or sodomize yamil(et) perez aka mohamad the prophet
Dude, wtf is wrong with you?
internet has some seriously bad people and he’s one of them
I agree,then again atleast it (shim)? trys to be honest today,give it a chance like erm nazis?
He is being honest today,just like his nazi heros try to be toward the dpr/lpr and the russians?
You trolls need to get a grip. Russia has won and it is all over. The US cowards are just prolonging the misery for the Ukrainian pathetic military and population by pouring in penny ante weaponry which simply can not make an iota of difference to the outcome. You trolls are rather silly and just vent sheer nonsense.
We won? Yupiii
Atleast your post is honest now askenazi sorry goy((
your fellatio ukro-nazis?
If the Ukranian force inside the Azovstal plant is deemed a non threat then there’s no reason to send Russian soldiers down there. Bombing that steel plant with those children inside is war crime. Once they decide to come out they’ll come out. It can be next week or it can be next month. It doesn’t matter. Just secure the area surrounding it and that’s it. It should be pretty simple decision if only they weren’t dealing with a bunch of lunatics.
You might be right this time. Russia need to clear up buildings above the ground, setup picnic table next to one exit to the bunker and seal all the other exist. And whoever comes out without hand up – shoot. Maybe, every now and then, roll down a drum full of teargas
More to the point in doing so Putin will defeat bidens resolve to see all his losers getting caught alive in what is destined to be another evident harvest of info content as we say nail in bidens/us coffins!
I’ve always maintained Russia has committed far too few resources to this campaign. They needed around 600k to 1 million men for an operation this big. 200k was never going to cut it. Even if they were conscripts, it would have been fine as the regular forces could have carried out the heavy operations while the remainder could have done the mop up, humanitarian, rear guard actions etc.
The current operation requires 400,000
Don’t look at the man power ratio. Look at the firepower ratio. Russia will slowly grind and steamroll over UkroWehrmacht while minimizing own losses. That’s that they do best
150k
War is expensive, it should be done with the least cost. Dragging the war is not a bad idea. The Ukrainians are turning on each other and seeing the cruelty of their military, police and leaders. This will help for the acceptance of separatism from Ukraine. Kherson is already preparing its exit. Several provinces will follow. The atrocities the Nazis are committing are being felt heavily by the population.
I bet, weren’t the Ukrainians supposed to welcome the Russians into their land with flowers and hugs? Some flowers, some hugs! Russia state is now a pariah, military and hardware is laughing stock of the world.
That’s what happens when the media is censored and flooded with propaganda. Putin watched TV and believed his own lies LOL
I hope Putin is deposed befor too many more Russian and Ukrainian lives are ruined and ended
Listen buddy !! Your president BIDEN shakes hands with ghosts so GTFO and crawl back into that redneck hole you fcking tranny !!
Sorry dud,you cant eat your hope,but putin will get to eat his fair share of nazis and natos
They have tricked themself by own propaganda. They are not able to make a 600.000 gathering.
let me suck you jens
It almost happend once. His head is still here.
they are doing pretty fine with lesser considering,remmember are dealing blows to cia/isis in syria too. RUSSIA STOCKS URRP, no wars ever won until at the end,russias getting stronger + smarter by the day 150k is more than enough.
Bad day for the #SystemPigs
The losses keep piling up for Vladolf Pitler…soon russia will be bled dry and then…USA will swoop in to finish them off!
Now that the world knows Russia is a weak paper bear and can nearly manage a conflict with a puny neighbour. China should attack and take back outer Manchuria from Russia Japan should take back Kirl islands Finland its territory taken in 1940s Germany Kalingrad. Turky could take back circadia New Russia could be given back to the native peoples. And several other “republics would be freed from Russian oppression.
If Russia whines, just take more.
Let’s put the “e”back in Slavs
Just because you globohomo rant cant fight for shit dont mean ukranian or russian can’t dud! How about you stfu or fukoff before you too end up falling straight on your fugly face from fear! Assflogged!
You are a special kind of stupid.
While Vladimir Putin will accumulate losses, Vladolf Zitler’s army will cease to exist.)))
I forgot to add: “Let’s take revenge on the Ukronazis for the Bucha!”
I’m tired of guessing when the NAZIS WILL be removed from Mariupol. I’m sure there is a plan but no clue what it is. I’m questioning how much of Mariupol is really secure at this point.
“Families of Azov fighters are reportedly being held in underground communications and bunkers at Azovstal.”
So what are they waiting for?!?! Nothing of value will be lost these are satanic fanatics, pretty much like ISIS. This is a prime opportunity to wipe them out, use bunker busters, gas, anything to banish them back to hell!
No cia and biden will not get their way and nazis must surrender with a white flag for good measure or denied the dignity off getting off scott free with their nazi oaths,meaning they must shoot themselfs in the head or die and rot in shame whichever comes first,no more lame ducky duffy nazi excuses! You may ask what the fk am I on about here,what the hell would a shit kicker know here,no? Simplified,complete surrender with white flag or do what nazi must do in the end bullet to the head RIP
The nato cockroaches are there too. This is why the nazis are categorically refusing to surrender. Otherwise the coward cockroaches would have already crawled out of there. But natostan gave to order to die to the last ukronazi.
They wanted Mariupol and Lugansk fully liberated before May 9th. I don’t know what they are going to do with this stupid plant area. Reduce the area as much as possible and just sit on it is what I would do. They have to come up soon or later. Just make sure you have all exits/entrances covered. 2,500 troops would be about all that you require.
From the reports I have read the formal beginning to Phase 2 with an overall offensive is supposed to start on the 25th. The 24th is Orthodox Easter. We shall see.
Interesting in reading reports how arm supplies are coming from Poland, Romania etc. They usually come in at night and military is mixed with civilian stock. Thus, you will have a truck disguised as a civilian vehicle delivering arms right beside a truck that is bringing in medicine. Therefore, if you bomb the one carrying arms you are likely going to hit the civilian one too. Probably another war crime by Kiev doing it this way, but what do they care. This explains why Russia has not bombed in arms convoys to date. It still doesn’t explain why railroads and bridges are still in place though. In Russia, people are very angry about this but the MOD provides no answers.
Why? Running low on cruse missiles, and air defence systems keep planes from penetrating too deep inside Ukraine. Putler is kaput
Your kaput gimp,you fascist will not be given the benefit of dignity russia dont need your blood moneys,nor anything you beggotten globohomos have either,But Russia all ready gave you a bloody nose and most particularly financial sectors on all BIG CASHIS fronts and to further rid you g;lobohomos of any right of say refute your cia/nazis to get way scott free without white flag so let me explain it in lateral terms problem child,complete unequivocal surrender or self head shot,no ifs no buts,no more pathedic excuses are only just that and I cant wait to see nazis or americunt holding the white flag tpo prove to the wole world,you fascist globohomos are losers!
Things are looking dire. Not the cakewalk expected…
Nor such the cia/nazis merry dream as holding hands together skipping at centenial park either!

Gee, you shitheads are really desperate now
We remember the words of the “Boatswain”: “Kill everyone without blue armbands!”
Trump warned the world about two things during the elections. Biden’s and Ukraine. Soon as Biden enters office Ukraine erupts. This man was a genius.
Translation of the Second video: “Japanese you are Winnie the Pooh!”)))
Even If capitalist Russia is a corrupt state we Turkish people stand with people of L/DPR against Azov Terrorist organization. Only Russian and Ukranian communists can create a lasting peace.
Zelensky, SMO is not a telenovela.
Im the footnote at the bottom of the page that says FQSF you commie jew loving phaggots.
Russia soft approach and slow action will drug this war in UA for years and will be bloody for Russian solders and civilians. Putin soft approach and constant negotiations we can see outcome in Syria. 11 years war in Syria and no end we can see.
Putin and his leaderships thinks they can initiate wars from Moscow office. Furthermore, looks like Putin would like to drug this wars as long as in Syria. Looks more like Putin may have some kind connection with Israel and Zelensky. In Syria Israel can attack and bomb Syria at will and no Putin reaction. In UA, why Putin try negotiate with Zelensky, when Zelensky not even once commit himself honor any agreement and damage he has done to Russia. Maybe, Putin is not the right leader for Russia
I prefer to listen to RF leaders as to strategy instead of SF. SF basically called RF liars when reporting on Moskva, stating weather calm when ship went down, also weather was fine when it was supposedly ‘hit’. Then next day different story, stormy seas, with no explanation. Even as visual evidence leans towards ship-board fire, SF continues ‘likely’ ASM or even US torpedo slant, with no proof. Now, they say RF advance likely to stall and basically become another Afghanistan, if AFU strategy succeeds. Also slamming RF decision to not try to take Azovstal, which would cost more RF lives, is wrong? RF soldiers lives are worth more than this. Waiting them out is less spectacularly gung-ho, but far smarter. Just the PR makes it worth it. Should the Russians tire of waiting, they will devise a way to get to them. But why should they now? Let them cook. Ukie vids will continue to inform of the situation. What I see is desperation in AFU, doing whatever they can to inflict some sort of damage, to stem the tide of RF washing over them. Their tactics will not work, RF has already thought of them. Very soon just the lack of fuel will take it’s toll and will be reflected on the battlefield. Any tactical retreat will be on foot and there will be little in the way of coordinated attacks without mobile armor.
This is new to me = “Families of Azov fighters are reportedly being held in underground communications and bunkers at Azovstal.” … right, bomb it to smithereens.
Ill say this. I support Russia and what its doing. But if they allow a third party (merica) to pull the nazis out of the factory along with the cia and merican mercenaries it proves this is all another planned act in the globalists agenda and putin is in on it. If, on the other hand, they are smoked out and held accountable for thier crimes it would prove putin really is fighting the good fight. I will wait and see
Agree
Mariopul has turned into nothing more than a hostage situation at the plant.
russia is a part of the great reset and poison injections like the rest of the world off-guardian.org/2022/04/21/russia-astrazeneca-vaccine-collusion/
