"There's also video of Azov troops preventing civilians from leaving Mariupol and deploying next to residential buildings as cover."True or not, this is the kind of informational and psychological warfare that I feel is a bit lacking thus far from Russia. Ukraine basically outright lies in so many instances but that artificially boosts morale to keep fighting longer. At least in this instance, there's plausibility since there is a video of a supposed Azov base in aftermath of hit. There's also video of Azov troops preventing civilians from leaving Mariupol and deploying next to residential buildings as cover. Now the Russians can start building a propaganda case against these guys and the hope is to incite some divide among the Ukrainians.
On another note, I find it hilarious the Kadyrov Chechens have been front and center of PR Campaign. Guiding lost civilians, distributing supplies, helping people trapped in dark basements. Lol your friendly neighborhood Chechenman.
Can you please be specific and post link to that video? If it already was here somewhere then I am sorry, I was waiting for my account activation.
