Natalia Usmanova, kept hostage in the Azovstal by the Azov gang, reported on the “militants” who lied to them: “They didn’t let us out.” They told us, “We’ll not let you out.” She and her husband worked at the Azovstal steel complex, and moved there for safety back on February 26. “I suspect they came there with the goal of hiding behind civilians.… We tried to leave but they wouldn’t let us. Our family has decided unanimously – we don’t want to go to Ukraine. But if we decide to go back, then only to Mariupol [in the Donbas] and not to Ukraine. Let’s put it this way: Ukraine as a state – and I am a citizen of Ukraine – it has died for me.” https://youtu.be/hYZPAfK7KO8
