Well if they do, they're not letting them leave. Russia opened several humanitarian corridors around Azovstal which they flat out REFUSED to take advantage of.

That would mean if there are civilians, Azov is keeping them as human shields.

How fucking pathetic. They are true cowards. And they seriously think NATO will intervene to rescue them from Azovstal? They are out of their fucking minds and probably hopped up on drugs.

Good portion of Nazis who are smart enough to know that starving to death is easier than going into the hands of the Chechens and Russians who will have a field day torturing them.

They really should just let the civilians go though

They won't let civilians go.

shipped off to russia? wait, you mean that they dont want to let the civilians go as its "safer" for them (lets call them the "defenders") against the russian options?

I think the defenders in the steel mill will not let the civilians go if they are Azov fighters.

or can label them as "enemy combatants" like Obama did for the 90% of his drone strike murders that were civilians

I remain doubtful there are actually civilians in Azovstal. Azov only released a few questionable pictures.

Furthermore, they usually just torture & execute any civilians they can get their hands on anyway. I doubt they have the restraint to keep them alive.

There are definitely civilians without a doubt , you can agree to disagree.
There is about 434,000 strong population in Mariupol prewar. About 100,000 plus left now.
Not everyone has the ability to leave when they are being surrounded.

Can't wait the new weapons to arrive in Ukraine, isnt it ?

There are civilians *around* azovstal, trapped in basements in buildings directly adjacent to the factory. Some of these have evacuated, sure.

But I remain skeptical Azov has managed to keep civilians with them inside Azovstal. Maybe they did, but even if so, probably not very many.
