In an exclusive interview with CTVNews.ca, one member of the Azov Regiment currently inside the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol describes life under siege; 'it's living hell.'
High Commissioner for Human Rights in a report about the ensuing conflict of torture, rape, beatings and intimidation of the press.
On Tuesday, reports that the plant was being rushed by Russian forces hoping to end the stalemate with Azov, surfaced. CTVNews.ca was unable to reach Samoilenko by time of publication to confirm. Samoilenko said the Azov Regiment killed at least 2,000 Russian troops and wounded 7,000 more, enough casualties that the Russians “mobilized two waves of reservists” and dropped them in Mariupol.
Samoilenko remarked that the civilian casualties in the war outweighed the military thus far, something he alleged was a purposeful action by Russian troops as modern warfare capabilities allow for “precision guided munitions.” Samoilenko cited satellite photos of supposed mass graves in Mariupol as evidence of at least 15,000 deaths and alleged the Russians have been using mobile crematoriums to help hide evidence.
When CTVNews.ca brought up the fact that members of the Regiment are known for sporting Nazi symbols such as the “SS” lighting bolts, the Sonnenrad or “Black Sun” and the Wolfsangel rune, along other extremist insignias, Samoilenko said, “I know we are.” But he added: “The wolfsangel is not the wolfsangel, it just has some resemblance…I admit it looks like it, but it's not. We do not share the ideology.
