Samoilenko’s quote: A person can run away like a coward, think only of his own life, but not of his duty, of the oath he has taken on himself. This is exactly what happened to the commander of the Marine Corps of the 36th Brigade. He simply refused to carry out the order issued to him.
And he tried to escape the city with a small group of working tanks, armored combat vehicles, [and] ammunition…
… here (from Mariupol – ed. note) it is impossible to break through, but if you think only of your own life, you will seize every opportunity to prolong this life.
It’s a great shame. “
Details: Samoilenko noted that the Azov Regiment is already more than 100 kilometers from the initial positions.
This is what Denis Prokopenko, commander of the Azov Regiment, said in an interview with Ukrainskaya Pravda.
Prokopenko’s quote: “Then, unexpectedly, [Volodymyr Baraniuk], the commander of the 36th Brigade decided, without warning anyone, to simply make a breakthrough in an unknown direction and thus lose many men. In addition, many people were left to their own devices and were simply captured.
If this had not happened, we would have been able to keep the defense on the right bank for a long time, but the flank was opened and after the clearing of Ilyich’s plant was completed, the enemy threw all his forces in our direction – this allowed them to attack us. from the flank and rear. “
Reminder: Russian media (RosSMI) have already shown Baranyuk in captivity.
