In Mariupol Ukrainian Regular Army Forces Wanted to Surrender and Azov Militia Forces Started Shooting At Them – They Are At War With Each Other

US Navy veteran and independent journalist, Patrick #Lancaster, has been making regular reports from Ukraine since the beginning of the crisis.

In his report on Friday 25th March 2022, Lancaster interviewed residents of the ethnic Greek village of Sartana, one of the villages surrounding #Mariupol, #Ukraine

"My parents stayed in Mariupol. But they say that everything is very sad.

Today I heard another story that the Ukrainian armed forces started shootings with Azov. Because the Ukrainian forces kind of wanted to give up, SMS messages come that say that “you can give up and nothing will happen to you”.

@13:57 :

So they want to surrender, and Azov starts shooting at them. And they are at war with each other.

Such an episode also took place.

This is according to the stories of people who got out from Mariupol 3 days ago. Mariupol is on fire, people are suffering. I haven’t been there, I’ll have to get there somehow later."

A video from #Southfront summarising a month of war in #Ukraine & Analysis

https://southfront.org/month-of-war-in-ukraine/

Gennady, a soldier of the special forces of the DPR, described the real situation in Mariupol, criticizing the hooray-patriotic approach of many Russian and local journalists.

He notes that there is a hard war going on, when the real victory may be achieved only on the battlefield, and not on the screens.

He emphasizes that the approaches used by Ukrainian propagandists should be avoided, and it is necessary to supply the real image of the ongoing developments, as in a war, the one who tells the truth always wins

The fighting in Ukraine is accompanied by a fierce information war.

Both sides of the conflict seek to embellish their successes and attribute defeats to their enemy.

This includes the production of fakes and staged videos, mainly done by the Ukrainian side.

In turn, the Russian side is trying to embellish its successes by choosing the needed shoots from fragments of video recordings

💢Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Claims Putin Saved Hundreds of Thousands of Lives

“To prevent World War III and an attack on Russia with nuclear weapons, the Russian government decided to neutralize the threat and restore order in Ukraine” – former Ukrainian P.M. Azarov

“NATO wanted to unleash a third world war by using nuclear weapons against Russia,” Azarov stated. “Since December 2021, Russia has been receiving information about NATO plans to deploy four military brigades (2 land, one navy, one air) on the territory of Ukraine.” One of those brigades could carry nuclear warheads.

Contrary to what all western media says about how unpopular Vladimir #Putin is, his #popularity is in fact near its all-time highest levels


According to a recent survey by the #Levada Center, Russia's leading/only independent (i.e.: US/NATO funded) pollster, Vladimir Putin's approval rating has reached 83%, an increase of 12 points over the past month.

This is Putin's highest figure since the start of his fourth term back in 2018


The Levada center, financed by US/NATO Govs, conducts exit polling for Russian elections and Putin's polling numbers have alway reflected Lavada's pedictions, even polling below Levada predictions several times.

This is strong evidence that, hard though it may be for propagandised westerners to accept, those polling numbers are not the result of election corruption, and Putin really is as popular as his own propaganda suggests.

This is the Russian guy that was stabbed in the eye a couple of days ago

Seems he was already suffering from severe burns when they first captured him.

"[on 27th of March], a video was released with another prisoner in Malaya Rogan: instead of providing medical assistance, the militants mock the burnt man and offer a choice of torture."
