On April 21, 2022, Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]] instructed Gen. Sergey Shoigu to halt the storming of Azovstal, apparently shifting to a strategy of starving out the encircled remaining holdouts. It was thought that about 1,400 Ukrainian fighters and foreign mercenaries, along with dozens of NATO officers, civilian families of the fighters and possibly some civilian hostages were still holed up in the bunkers. The Azov regiment apparently had stockpiled enough food and drinking for a lengthy holdout. The Russians did not cut internet access.<ref>https://southfront.org/liberation-of-mariupol/</ref> More than 142,000 civilians had been evacuated from the city. Gen Shoigu declared victory in the battle. An estimated 9,000-10,000 Ukrainian forces and mercenaries had been killed in the battle.

As of May 9, 2022, roughly 1,000 people, civilian and military, were reported to have been evacuated from Azovstal under the plan negotiated by UN General Secretary António Guterres and evacuations ended, leaving about 500 deadenders in the bunkers below. Humanitarian corridors were closed. On May 16 ''[[RT]]'' reported over 300 Azovstal holdouts surrendered.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/lONiVlqpXJJ7/</ref>

On May 16, 2022 all fighting within the confines of the massive Azovstal steel plant came to an end when the remaining Azov fighters asked to surrender. They had ran out of food a week earlier. With help from Russian soldiers, the Azov fighters first had to de-mine booby traps that had been set up leading from the exit. Mass unconditional surrenders began, taking 3 full days to process. 55 seriously wounded (ambulatory) were taken immediately east to the Novoazovsk hospital in the Donetsk Republic Another 221 people the first day were sent north to the Elenovka POW camp in the Donetsk Republic. Russian war correspondent Dmitry Steshin who was at the surrender for its entirety, recorded this:
{{quotebox-float|"Steshin is accompanied by a [[DPR]] soldier named Vlad, who hails from Poltava. They have been inseparable for the past 3 months on the road. Vlad was filled with [[hatred]] against these Ukrainian Nazis, and wanted revenge. But now something is happening to him: At the sight of the captives, his hatred and anger start to melt away, and he becomes calmer. Steshin philosophizes about the “Russian soul”, and how this effect works: At the sight of a conquered enemy, the Russian rage wilts, then [[compassion]] becomes more dominant within the psyche. To be sure, these Nazis will be put on trial for their crimes. But it is not the Russian way to carry out battlefield justice."<ref>https://awfulavalanche.wordpress.com/2022/05/19/ukraine-war-day-85-up-close-look-at-azovstal-surrender-i-mean-evacuation/</ref>}}
On May 18, 2022, the total number of surrenders rose to 959. It was believed there were about 1,700 holdouts until the end. DPR leader Denis Pushilin told journalists, “A court will rule on the fate of Ukrainian militants who surrendered at Mariupol’s Azovstal plant…As for war criminals and those who are nationalists, if they laid down their arms their fate should be decided by the court. Regardless of the emotions of some people, I heard various opinions, if an adversary laid down the arms, the future fate is decided by the court. If this is a Nazi criminal, then by a court martial"<ref>https://tass.com/politics/1452579</ref>
In Elenovka, interrogation of Ukrainian prisoners of war, some of whom have open [[criminal]] cases (e.g., for abuse/torture or killing of civilians, or of rebel captives) for years in Russia. Among the Ukrainian military who surrendered, 144 people are fighters of the Interior Ministry's National Guard, of which the Azov Battalion is part. The [[Kremlin]] reportedly refused to exchange Nazi members of the Azov regiment as they committed numerous war crimes. The exchange of other servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine could be negotiated. The Russian state Duma, however immediately began debate on a bill forbidding the exchange of any POWs captured at Azovstal for fear of a demoralizing effect on the public and soldiers.
Steshin noted the prevailing attitude among the captive Ukrainian soldiers: "One conclusion they are all reaching is this: The Kiev regime has no use for them any more." The [[psychotic]], [[delusion]]al Presidential adviser to Zelensky, Mykhailo Podoliak, posted on Twitter:
{{quotebox-float|"83 days of Mariupol defense will go down in history as the [[Battle of Thermopylae|Thermopylae]] of the XXI century. “Azovstal” defenders ruined 🇷🇺’s plan to capture the east of 🇺🇦, took a hit on themselves and proved the real "combat capability" of 🇷🇺… This completely changed the course of the war."<ref>https://twitter.com/Podolyak_M/status/1526502875261706250</ref>}}
Steshin reported on a conversation between Vlad and some Azovites:
{{quotebox-float|"Nazar is the only person in the whole group of captives who speaks in pure Ukrainian dialect. He is from Lvov. He overhears Steshin chatting with Vlad and philosophizing, how this all came about. Nazar butts into the conversation and says, in Ukrainian dialect: ''“People were pitted against people.”'' Ukrainian Dmytro objects to this: He says he is from Mariupol, and he says that people were getting used to the new life (under [[Maidan regime|Maidan rules]]). Vlad objects angrily: ''“I am from Poltava, I had to leave my home in 2014, because I understood that it was impossible to live under the new rules. We all spoke Russian, and they started to forbid the Russian language, they passed a lot of laws…”''
Dmytro exhales: “Yeah…” But then quickly collects himself and dives into the political debate: ''“All the same, these were our internal, Ukrainian affairs. Why did Russia have to stick its nose in?”''
Vlad retorts angrily: ''“You wanted them to just kill us all, with nobody intervening? You have [[Europe]] and the U.S. behind you, so we have Russia behind us. Does that seem normal to you? Is it normal to waste your youth fighting in a war?”''
Dmytro: ''“I have also been fighting since 2014. I also wasted my youth in this.”''
Vlad [getting curious]: ''“Really? Whereabouts were you fighting?”''
Steshin leaves these two soldiers to their reminiscing, noting that they kept up their conversation for at least an hour.
[...]
Steshin and Vlad collect their gear and leave the scene. Vlad reveals, surprisingly, “You know. when this war is over, I would be happy to go out with Dmytro and have a drink with him.”
“You forgive them?”
“No. But I like him. We had a lot of things to talk about.”
“What about him do you like?”
“Well, he was the only one of them who didn’t pretend to be a cook. He was honest with me. He is a worthy adversary.”}}

After Stalingrad, the Germans, if faced with an imminent risk of encirclement, with very few exceptions, ran the hell away (or tried to.) And, the Ukrainian army, despite all the “[[Iron Cross]]” emblems on its hardware, is no ''[[Wehrmacht]]''. This bodes ill for the Ukraine’s attempt to hold and defend the Severodonetsk-Lisichansk agglomeration in northern Lugansk—a hard-core Russian loyalist area, and likely the next big “cauldron.” Those two cities combined, are roughly half the size of Mariupol. Russian and Lugansk/Donetsk forces moving in on them, will be more numerous, and (by now) much more experienced than the forces that took Mariupol."<ref>https://thedreizinreport.com/2022/05/18/details-of-the-mariupol-surrender/</ref>}}

Russia does not have [[capital punishment]]. While some of the AFU regulars may be released once the conflict is declared over, which may take years given the United States declared intention to fund sabotage activity and a partisan insurgency after the AFU surrenders and the country is fully "demilitarized," Azov Nazis are looking at "busting rocks north of the [[Arctic Circle]] until the year 2040 or 2050," in the words of Jacob Dreizen.
