Separate figurines are dedicated to the Ukrainian defenders of Mariupol, who are currently in Russian captivity, Becraft says.
«The Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, volunteers of the territorial defence and other defenders of Azovstal, who held out in Mariupol for almost 3 months, thereby delaying the Russian army and allowing Ukraine to win the battle for Kyiv,» – he wrote.
In particular, the prototypes of the figurines were: the chief of staff of the «Azov» regiment Bohdan Krotevych, commander Denys Prokopenko and deputy commander Svyatoslav Palamar.
