The Azov Regiment and the defenders of Mariupol still have some supplies of food and weapons to continue the fight against Russian troops. This was stated by Ilya Samoilenko, an officer of the Azov Regiment Intelligence Department, at a press conference, Ukrainska Pravda reports.

"We still have provisions, we still have weapons, we may lack military equipment and heavy artillery, but we can't use artillery now because it's too close to the city. You know what I mean.

Russia has not stopped using artillery yet, but we cannot do that.

Our resources here are limited. All our supplies are limited because we do not receive any replenishment of stocks, we have been fighting on our own for almost two and a half months,” Samoilenko said.

He said he could not talk about everything for security reasons.

"We still have water, we still have ammunition, we still have personal weapons - we will fight for the best solution to the situation," said the officer.

It will be recalled that, according to Samoilov, Azov, which is currently based on Azovstal, which is being mercilessly attacked by Russian troops, has four options: lay down its arms and wait, try to escape, surrender or fight. The fighters chose the latter. Captivity for Azov will mean death.
