Not a single Azov fighter. Not a single Azov fighter was among the thousand Ukrainian prisoners of war exchanged over the last three days. At the same time, the bastard who had asked his prison guards for a knife to "cut the ones from Azov" has returned home. This feels like

Another monster with the blood of thousands of Ukrainians on his hands — both civilians and service members — has paid the price. Gurtsiev was responsible for the destruction of Mariupol from the air. Round-the-clock bombardments and missile strikes turned the city into one mass

2 years ago, a full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops began. Azov met the enemy in Mariupol. We have been preparing for this battle for 8 years. Every day we did our best to ensure that the individual training of each Azov soldier and the cohesion of all sections,

They want to convince us that our country does not belong to us. That the outcome is predetermined and everything has already been decided for us. That someone will reach an agreement and everything will return to normal. They try to break Ukrainians by creating the illusion that

The 12th Special Forces Brigade Azov spent the whole of 2024 at the frontline. For most of the year, we continued performing our combat mission in the Lyman sector. Afterward, the unit was ordered to urgently relocate to the area near Toretsk, where the enemy had a breakthrough.

"Should you shout "Glory to Ukraine" for one more time, and I'll call in the troops and crush you all into the asphalt! There is no such country as Ukraine!" Those were the last words I had heard from that scum. Every single one of them came back to him in a form of TNT

As a Ukrainian officer, I am happy for every Ukrainian released from captivity. As the commander of the Azov Brigade, I find it impossible to remain silent about the lives of my fighters. Today, Ukraine returned 150 service members home. I congratulate them and their families

It has always been this way: only the brave are respected, only the influential are listened to, and only the strong are considered important. Since 1991, Ukraine's enemies have done everything in their power to make our country weak, fragmented, toothless, and dependent. In

Today, 11 service members of the 12th Azov Brigade returned home from Russian captivity. They endured extreme trials lasting nearly three years: 86 days defending Mariupol, fierce fighting at the limits of human endurance, captivity, prisons, interrogations, and torture. Yet,

Today, six service members of the 12th Special Forces Brigade Azov returned home as part of a prisoner-of-war exchange. Strong, brave, and unbreakable — I welcome you back to your native soil. Thank you for your feat. Thank you for standing strong. The return of prisoners of

Nearly two years after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukrainians are beginning to ask themselves: "How long will this war last?". The uncertainty and the chance that the fighting will continue for years are weighing on civilians and sometimes even on the military.

None of those who gave guarantees to the soldiers of the Mariupol garrison when they left Azovstal's territory have fulfilled their promises. Preserving the life of every serviceman in the garrison, not using torture and making exchanges as soon as possible are the primary
