The commanders who defended Azovstal are being held on the territory of the Russian Federation

This is reported by the UNIAN telegram channel with reference to the Russian media.

As indicated, we are talking about Denis Prokopenko and his deputy Svyatoslav "Kalina" Palamar.

It is noted that the Ukrainians were taken "to one of the special facilities", but not to "Lefortovo".

As you know, 144 prisoners returned to Ukraine last week, among them defenders of Azovstal. Also, paramedic Taira, who was captured in Mariupol in March, was released from captivity.
