Ukrainian Troops Patrol Through Devastated Mariupol
Published 2 years ago
Ukrainian troops wearing blue armbands conduct a patrol inside of the devastated city of Mariupol. Forces inside of the city have been cut-off from resupply and relief for quite some time.
What appears to be either members of the Ukrainian Marine Corps or the Azov Battalion has just released a video showcasing some of the damage inside of Mariupol. One of the troops even stands inside of an impact crater with his hands above his head showing that the crater is deeper than he is tall. Everywhere the camera pans, there are scenes of destruction and devastation in a city that looked just like any other only a month ago.
We're not entirely sure on exactly which unit this is. We know that the Azov Battalion has been the dominant force leading the defense of Mariupol, but we also know they are joined by Ukrainian Marines in the fight. Both units are indicated by blue arm bands, as seen in this video, so we're unsure of which group this actually is. It could be a mix of both groups, as I'm sure they're coordinating their operations together at this point in the siege.
