Line 403:
Line 403: − 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.”}}

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:

On May 18, 2022, the total number of surrenders rose to 959. It was previously thought to be 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>
