Russian special military operation in Ukraine #8

Mariupol, cleansing: Kadyrovites find Bandera, trying to break out of the "cauldron" under the guise of refugees

It was the Chechens who figured out the most Natsiks.

In general, it is not welcome to give interviews to the military during this special operation. But the correspondent of "SP" on condition of anonymity recorded the story of the Marine Sergei S. The contract soldier Sergei, together with his company, works in the western part of the besieged Mariupol.

- The work is hard. Cleaning up a city is hard, exhausting work. You're in a wild state of tension all day long. You perfectly understand that you can become an easy prey for a sniper, so you run between the houses, bending over and putting your head on your shoulders. Such is the cat-and-mouse game of death. And you are wearing a Kevlar helmet, armor, ammunition. Each of us is thin as a washboard. And everyone's legs are like weightlifters. You feel more or less calm under the cover of a tank or other armor. Before you cross the street, you "scan" all the skyscrapers.

Everything is shot here. There is a constant counter-sniper war going on. They have a sniper climber. Works on the fifth or sixth floors. And then he quickly descends the rope and runs away until he is covered by a tank, mortar or artillery fire. Grenade launchers from the AGS got the hang of sending grenades directly into specific windows. Address.

We have guys who acted in the Middle East. Igilovtsev * were driven. There is a million-plus city in Iraq - Mosul. ISIS made it a fortified area. So the Americans pounded him into the asphalt with artillery fire. A hundred civilians could be put on one ISIS. We are working on a targeted basis. That's why it's so hard. Of the tanks, we only work on identified sniper points - if we don’t hit, then we’ll bury the shooter under the rubble.

Therefore, they change their beds constantly. Several groups of Buryats and Tuvinian snipers were attached to us. There was even one Khanty from the Khanty-Mansiysk Okrug. Legacy hunters. Many went through Chechnya, Ossetia, Syria...

But they say that Mariupol is something special. It is extremely difficult to see a sniper in a window or attic of a destroyed high-rise building. They peer at houses for hours - both through binoculars, and through a thermal imager, and with their own eyes. After two or three days, the eyes become inflamed, the faces become red - as if from constant lack of sleep. They smear them with some kind of deer fat. SSO snipers work with them. Their rifles punch through walls. In the wall after the hit - a hole the size of a basin ...

In general, a third of the boys in our platoon have Ukrainian surnames. They say that we clean our country from evil spirits. There are children of the Soviet Union - those who were born in Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan. The militias in general are completely international.

Russians, Ukrainians, Abkhazians, Dagestanis. There are many Caucasians. Fights are their element. During the war, we constantly cross paths with Kadyrov's Chechens. Then they insure us, then we insure them. At first they showed a brave contempt for death.

Then they became more careful. The war is positional. There is no dagger fight here, dashing cavalry attacks do not work. You can become easy prey for snipers or mortars. Bandera, by the way, also have Chechens. But ours call them "Chechen-speaking shaitans." Contacted them. Come out, they say, once at a time, we will not shoot - we will fight with daggers like men. They didn't come out.

Among the highlanders there are age - those who fought in the first Chechen war. And now we are beating Bandera together with them. Brothers in Arms. Our hatred for Bandera is mutual and absolute. We would cover them all with artillery in an hour. But they hide behind the backs of civilians.

They do not let people out into the humanitarian corridors we have opened and scream to the whole world that civilians are suffering from the occupiers. There is no logic, no sense, no high idea in their actions. Everything is built on a lie - both for the clown Zelensky and for themselves. They constantly accuse us of doing things themselves. Lies, lies, lies.

The Chechens are also ready to break loose.

It was the Chechens who figured out the most Nazis who tried to leave the city along with the civilians along the gum corridor. They first checked the shoulders - there were bruises on them from the recoil of the butt. There could be traces of knee pads on the knees. And the helmet leaves a red stripe on the head.

You can rest assured that the Kiev regime is transporting the ATGMs in civilian cars.   Hitting the barracks has been very effective.

With 1351 KIA it is a success of epic levels more successful than Iraq and Afghanistan for sure

Ukrainian KIA are insane

No Mari was a smaller city by all standards, Places like Khakrov and Sumy will be much much harder.
