“The Russian armed forces offer the militants of nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries from 06:00 Moscow time on April 17, 2022 to stop any hostilities and lay down their arms,” Mizintsev said in a statement to TASS.
It is noted that all those who laid down their arms are guaranteed the preservation of life.
Earlier in Mariupol, Russian and DPR troops prevented an attempt by a Ukrainian military column to make a breakthrough to the Azovstal plant.
