UKRAINE: According to members of the Azov regiment defending Russian occupiers launched a chemical strike on Mariupol, namely on the Azovstal plant, where the Ukrainian defenders of the Azov Regiment are defending themselves.
Three people have clear signs of poisoning by poisonous chemicals, but without catastrophic consequences.
«They understand that it will spread around the world – the whole world will know that they are terrorists who violate a huge number of conventions. This means that they can not take Mariupol, that they can not take the «Azov», that they can not take Ukrainian defenders. And because of that they despair», – said Andriy Biletskyi, the founder of the Azov Regiment.
