🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡ Russia had sent an ultimatum to the Office of the President of Ukraine that if the surrender of Azovstal was not agreed, the plant would be razed to the ground with vacume bombs. Everyone will be buried alive, and the choice of what to do is up to Zelensky.
🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡The militants blocked at the Azovstal Mariupol plant are in a hopeless situation and demand permission from Kyiv to surrender, but the Ukrainian authorities demand heroic suicide from them.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation offer the militants to lay down their arms from 06:00 Moscow time on April 17, guaranteeing the preservation of life.
🇷🇺🇺🇦❗Given the catastrophic situation that has developed at the Azovstal metallurgical plant, as well as being guided by purely humane principles, the Russian Armed Forces offer militants of nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries from 06:00 (Moscow time) on April 17, 2022 to stop any hostilities and lay down their arms. All who lay down their arms are guaranteed the preservation of life.
◽️ Once again we call on the official authorities of Kyiv to show prudence, give appropriate instructions to the militants to stop the senseless resistance and leave the center of resistance. But realizing that they will not receive such orders and commands from the Kiev authorities, we urge them to make such a decision on their own and lay down their arms.
◽️ In addition, we appeal to all military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and foreign mercenaries - with the cynical attitude of the Kiev authorities, such an unenviable fate awaits all of you. With this in mind, do not tempt your fate following the example of the Mariupol tragedy, but make the only right decision to stop hostilities and lay down your arms now, wherever your “curators” force you to fight for the ideas of Nazism. At the same time, the Russian Federation guarantees to each of you the preservation of life and compliance with all the norms of the Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners of war, as it already happened with your comrades who had previously surrendered in Mariupol.
