“The territory of the Azovstal metallurgical plant in Mariupol, where a group of Ukrainian militants of the Azov Nazi formation has been blocked since April 21, has been completely liberated,” the report says.
It is noted that the underground structures in which the militants were hiding came under the full control of the Russian Armed Forces.
In total, 2,439 Ukrainian military and Azov militants laid down their arms and surrendered.
On May 17, the Russian Ministry of Defense showed a video of the surrender of Ukrainian nationalists who were blocked at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol.
