Donbass battalion withdraws from Shirokyne

The Donbass battalion has withdrawn from the settlement of Shirokyne, however, residents of nearby towns, including Mariupol, need not worry, as the Azov battalion has relieved the Donbass fighters, albeit for only five days.

«Батальон "Донбасс" вышел из Широкино. На следующие пять дней его сменил "Азов". В активе отбитый броневик и пять спокойных дней для Мариуполя. В пассиве - ничего. Все живы и здоровы! Днем баня. Вечером - футбол. Слава Украине! Всем - хорошего дня» (The Donbass battalion has withdrawn from Shirokyne. For the next five days, it has been relieved by Azov. On the plus side, we have recovered an armoured vehicle and five peaceful days for Mariupol. On the minus side, nothing. Everyone is alive and well! Sauna in the day. Football in the evening. Glory to Ukraine! Have a good day, everyone), - reported Semyon Semenchko.

Residents of Mariupol have repeatedly appealed to the battalions, asking them not to leave them alone with the dangerous neighbours from the DNR.
