They only evacuated civilians right? Are the Azov battalion guys still inside there?
Yes, from what I gather here what is happening
1. All evacuees from "Azovstal" go through the verification of documents and personal data.
2. If there are questions, then such people are delayed until all the points are clarified.
3. No one will let anyone go without checking. Filtering is a mandatory procedure for everyone who leaves Azovstal.
4. Attempts by the military to change into civilians are well known, many of them have already been caught at checkpoints during the fighting in the city.
5. The special services are interested in catching such people - on the one hand, this is the replenishment of the exchange fund, on the other hand, the opportunity to catch those who have criminal cases for war crimes in the dark.
6. The official position on the soldiers is either capture, or six six feet under
The results of evacuation today.
