"When an extraction [from Mariupol's Azovstal] happens, it's important for us that not only the wounded & the living, but also the dead would be evacuated"

Olga Andrianova, the wife of a wounded Mariupol's defender, said this in an interview on May 15.
suspilne.media/239670-dla-nas…
All Mariupol garrison must be extracted, not only WIA, wives of Mariupol defenders say during online presser

There is almost no food, water & medicine. Antibiotics are limited only for most difficult cases, amputees are without antibiotics or painkillers
During evacuation of civilians from Azovstal, 🇷🇺 troops blocked access for ICRC, UN, and 🇺🇦gvt reps

So @Polk_Azov under Cmdr Denys Prokopenko managed the evacuation. Also, 🇷🇺 shelled evacuation bus, killing 3& wounding 6 Azov soldiers- Yulia Fedosiuk, wife of blocked fighter
Mariupol garrison blocked in Azovstal preparing for last fight, does not believe in diplomacy, as despite talks, each day many ppl die and wounded suffer. Troops stay underground most of the time due to constant bombardment - wife of Azov fighter Yulia Fedosiuk at presser
Situation with medicine in besieged Azovstal so dire that limbs of fighters with even minor injuries are amputated, operations are done without painkillers. Antibiotics are kept for most severe operations - Olha Andrianova, wife of blocked Mariupol defender at presser
Why Azov Regiment surrendering to Russia not an option: from 2014, only 1 @Polk_Azov
fighter returned from 🇷🇺captivity alive, with smashed teeth & internal organs. All others were tortured & killed - Yulia Fedosiuk at presser of Azovstal wives
