Leader of Ukraine’s far-right Azov brigade alive in Russian captivity — wife
2022-05-26
[IsraelTimes] The top military commander who fought until last week to keep Ukrainian control of the southern port city of Mariupol is alive in Russian-controlled territory, his wife says after holding a brief telephone conversation.

Kateryna Prokopenko, who is married to Azov Regiment leader Denys Prokopenko, says her husband asked her how she was, but that the line broke off before he could say anything about himself.

She says the phone call was possible under an agreement between the governments of Ukraine and Russia and thanks to the mediation of the Red Thingy, which has been visiting some of the Ukrainian fighters who surrendered.

Earlier this month, Russia announced its takeover of Mariupol with the surrender of the fighters holed up at the massive Azovstal steel mill.

Prokopenko, who spoke to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named in Kyiv together with another wife of a soldier, Yuliia Fedosiuk, said that the Ukraine and Russia agreement guarantees proper burial of dead soldiers and certain conditions for the prisoners of war, including allowing them to hold telephone calls with family members a few times per week.

The two women said several families had received calls in the past two days. They said they could not reveal more details of the agreement but they were hopeful that the soldiers will not be tortured and that they eventually will "come back home."
From today’s Korrespondent:
08:38 The wife of the commander of the Azov Regiment, Denis Prokopenko, told The Guardian that her husband is being held in "more or less satisfactory" conditions: "They are fed, watered. The conditions are adequate, and in this short period they have not been subjected to violence."

#3  The criminals in the CIA that organized the bio labs in Ukraine and trained the holos nazis are a group of scumbags that needs to be eliminated ones for all.
There’s no security for Americans anymore until that group is put six feet down.
