On March 28, 2022 five helicopters took off from Nikolaev, flew 7 meters above the waves and landed in Mariupol. Their mission was to evacuate fighters from Azovstal. After they took off, two helicopters were shot down, but another three got away, with a possible third helicopter ditching in the waters off the coast. Two [[French]] officers of the main department of external security of the Ministry of Defense of the French Republic (DGSE) were reportedly on board.<ref>https://avia--pro-net.translate.goog/news/na-ukraine-sbit-vertolyot-s-oficerami-francuzskoy-razvedki-dgse</ref> The head of French military intelligence was fired days latter.

On April 5, two more helicopters were shot down over the [[Sea of Azov]] which was attempting to reach Azovstal. An unconfirmed report posted on [[social media]] accredited to journalist German Vladimirov read, “NATO officers from France, Germany, Britain and “neutral” Sweden got stuck at Azovstal in Mariupol. Right now they are getting in touch with the Russian troops with a request to help them leave, to organize a corridor for the exit."<ref>https://www.veteranstoday.com/2022/04/06/more-nato-officers-serving-with-azov-in-mariupol-ask-russia-to-save-them/</ref> The reports about NATO commanders taking shelter with Azov militants in Mariupol may explain why NATO member states especially France and [[Turkiye]] insist on carrying out a humanitarian mission in Mariupol, but only with the participation of their military.
