“Arriving here a few months ago, they (the militants) fought and waited for Kyiv or someone else to rescue and evacuate them.

But this did not happen, ”said Zhdanov.

According to him, doctors from the Donetsk People's Republic are treating Ukrainian militants from Azovstal.

The correspondent added that, according to doctors, "the wounds of the prisoners are severely neglected."

He added that large-scale demining work is underway at Azovstal.

Earlier, RT correspondent Igor Zhdanov published a video filmed in the catacombs of Azovstal after the militants of the Ukrainian national battalion Azov surrendered to Russian troops.

On May 20, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the complete liberation of the territory of the Azovstal plant in Mariupol.
