“Five Ukrainian servicemen laid down their arms and left the Azovstal plant,” the report says.
It is noted that they learned about the proposal to voluntarily lay down their arms and leave Azovstal from special leaflets that had previously been dropped on the territory of the industrial zone of Mariupol.
On the eve of the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the opening at 14:00 Moscow time of a humanitarian corridor for military and militants to leave Azovstal in Mariupol, who will voluntarily lay down their arms.
On the evening of April 19, the ministry reported that no one had used the gum corridor to leave Azovstal.
