The situation in Mariupol has normalised. Residents were able to move freely through the streets without having to hide from Ukrainian Nazi shelling.
Humanitarian aid is delivered: food, water and basic necessities. Authorities of the Donetsk People's Republic are organising the clearing of streets from rubble and the removal of damaged Ukrainian military equipment.
All remnants of the Ukrainian Azov Nazis, together with foreign mercenaries from the US and European countries, are securely locked inside the Azovstal plant.
Our demands that the women and children allegedly with them be released to travel freely in any direction are ignored by Nazis.
The procedure for civilians, if there are any, to leave Azovstal for further evacuation
is reported to the Nazis every hour. This information is also brought to representatives of the Kiev regime through Deputy Prime Minister Vereshchuk.
The holding of civilian hostages, if there are any, by the Azov Nazis and foreign mercenaries proves that they are not "defenders" but complete terrorists.
In this regard, the
US State Department spokesperson's attempts to lie about the Nazi allegedly keeping control over Mariupol are a fake and a direct abetment of terrorists at a high state level.
The State Department is habitually misinforming its own citizens, and everyone else.
Ukraine itself, its inhabitants in Mariupol and other cities,
Washington is interested only in the profits from arms supplies and the fight against Russia at least "to the last Ukrainian",
as all its proxy states repeat behalf of the State Department.
