I heard they let the injured men out yesterday. So the whole group left in there surrendered and came out today?

“I heard they let the injured men out yesterday. So the whole group left in there surrendered and came out today?”

The Ukrainian command issued a statement telling them that they served their purpose (to tie up some of the Russians) and that it’s time to surrender.

I had also heard earlier that the Ukrainians at the steel plant were doing their own negotiations and were through with Kiev, so the Ukrainian statement may have just been to act like they’re still in charge.

What will be interesting will be to see what the other Ukrainian units in Donbas will do, the ones being hammered non-stop. They might finally have enough, and if they’re not Azovs, they’ll at least have a good chance of going back home when the war is over.

No, only gravely injured were taken to a hospital in DPR for later exchange for POWs per russian sources. Southfront reported that 9 snuck out with white flag and surrendered, so basically no change
