What. how could she escape to vatican city but do nothing in her country?

Of course nobody knows better than Russians, upon whose psyche the Nazi blockade of Leningrad remains etched, the awful realities of siege warfare. Now they are inflicting the same pitiless constriction once visited upon them on their desperate enemies.

Comparing russhians to nahzis, check

next sentence calling azov nationalists: check

The Azov are a hardcore band of ultra-nationalist militia fighters far-Right extremism has been purged from the ranks

have these cucks interviewed any of the 'almost nazi' rushians? Hmm??

Yet in describing their men, these women find themselves letting slip not common values but how different they are to their country folk.

also, the country 'folk' arent killing their own people. oopsies

we have been fighting that war since 2014.” That’s why they, like Putin, don’t talk about February’s invasion as a war. They merely regard it as “an escalation”.

where they ALMOST admit the civ shelling. niggard faux journalists dont FAK CHEK THIS, FUNNY ENOUGH

And if they criticise some Ukrainians for complacency, they blame others for outright treachery.

sounds like the biden admiistration, as a country.

The Azov were ready to be surrounded but hoped Ukrainian armed forces in cities close to Mariupol would stand firm. That didn’t happen,” says Yuliia. “They let the Russian army grab the cities around Mariupol.” She even suggests Volodymyr Baranyuk, commander of Ukraine’s 36th Marine Brigade in Mariupol, “had close contacts with Russians”. Baranyuk was initially reported to have led a daring attempt to break the siege in April, but says Yuliia, the reality was “he turned out to be a traitor and went into Russian captivity even when marines still had weapons to fight.”

yeah there was heavy fighting in mariupol for most of the war, obv because they gave up early, lmao. or these are the faggots who were sitting in the factory the whole time? if they say "let russians grab' they have no understanding of the size of the army bearing down on the country. ukr also has no air force. and these niggas thought they would stop that huge army? maybe thats why theyre sitting in a factory, because they were ready to fight the russhians. AND, they were given opportunities to surrender, and chose NOT TO... so these wives are complaining about a situation that their men are prolonging.

he didnt seem to be a traitor of that level, (working with the ru) but he did leave his post and fuckover the defense of parts of the city. what is these brave azov excuse for not fighting and refusing to surrender?

Nothing could be less honourable for the desperados of the Azov regiment. “They will fight, fight to the end and they will die there,” says Yuliia. There is no prospect of mercy, she says: “Every Azov soldier who surrendered during the last eight years was tortured and killed.” A month ago, she says, one soldier was taken prisoner. “The Russians made propaganda videos with him and then they tortured him and killed him and took a photo of his dead body and sent to his mother. That’s why the whole world must understand that captivity is not an option for the Azov regiment.”

thats not even true. the first part where 'every azov was killed'. there is proof of many azov being taken as pows. and hte killing him and sending pics to the mother--- is what UKR was doing to russians... its hard knowing how much a woife would know that is true in a war in that country.

And this is also ukronaz propoganda.

“We will have our whole country, independent, even Crimea, even the Donbas,” says Yuliia. “It can be done in one year or 10 years but we are ready to fight for our whole lives.”

SO they literally want to keep killing civs in the donbas regions. unclear if they know that side of the fight - or what theyre told by the ukr endorsed nazi legions, but it is plausible that they do not care of their husbands murdering civilians.

“Each time the wife of an [Azov] fighter says goodbye to him, it is the last goodbye,” says Yuliia. “Because we are always ready to learn that they are dead.”

That's sad, but unfortunate expectations meet you upon war. It almost sounds like she supports one of the reasons that started it (the killing of civilians by her husbands military). ITs gay journos, but they should have asked her opinion of those murdered civilians. Id venture she might say it was poopin's fault.
