In the Azov regiment, the commander of the 36th brigade of Ukrainian marines Volodymyr Baranyuk is considered a fugitive who has surrendered his positions, Ilya Samoylenko, intelligence officer of the Azov regiment, said during an online briefing from occupied Mariupol.

According to him, the military in Mariupol has four options - starve to death, die from bombs, try to escape or surrender, and fight to the last.

" Think only about your own life, not about duties and oath. This is exactly what happened to the commander of the Marines of the 36th brigade: he refused to obey the order and tried to escape from the city with a small group of tanks and armored vehicles. This option can lead to death, one person died, ”said Samoylenko..

He added that the city is located about 100 kilometers from the main positions of the Ukrainian military, so it is almost impossible to break out of it..

“But if you think only about your life, you will grab at every opportunity to extend this life for yourself.. It's a big shame,"

At the same time, the only option for which he will not be ashamed is the continuation of the struggle..

Recall that on April 11, part of the marines of the 36th brigade tried to break out of the surrounded Mariupol. Some died during the breakthrough, the fate of others is still unknown.

Russian media, in turn, reported that they had captured the head of the brigade, Vladimir Baranovsky..
