The prisoner of war said that since 2014 they had been strengthening the Azovstal metallurgical plant, “they did something for them (for Azov – ed.) to install defensive structures.” Andreev also said that already in 2016, the Ukrainian army was trained by instructors from NATO countries.
It was previously reported that a fighter from the Azov battalion with the call sign “The Witcher” shot several civilians in Mariupol. This follows from the materials of the International Public Tribunal for Ukraine. On one of his shifts, Bochkarev noticed a man who, in his opinion, was filming equipment that The Witcher had taken out. Three more civilians were killed by his hands.
