Russian occupation of the southern regions - Kherson, Berdyansk, and Melitopol - is the biggest problem for the soldiers of the Azov Regiment in Mariupol today.
The statement was made by the intelligence officer of the Azov Regiment Department Illia Samoylenko during the press conference, RBC-Ukraine writes.
He stressed that the best support for "Azov" could be the appropriate actions of the Ukrainian military command concerning the defense of the southern part of Ukraine.
"Do you know what would be the biggest support? If our commander-in-chief makes no mistakes in the defense of the southern regions. I mean Kherson, Berdyansk, Melitopol. It is the russian occupation of these cities that is the main problem today," Illia Samoylenko said.
According to Samoylenko, “Azov” maintains contact with the command. And the command's order is to hold the defense.
