Azov Corps Commander Denys Prokopenko on the situation near Kyiv, where Azov personnel allegedly held over a dozen newly mobilised men hostage: "What is happening in the information space around the topic of events in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka satisfies all the requests of the Russians." (...) "Our state is waging a tough, bloody war for its existence. In this situation, we need to either defend the country on the front lines or help the front from the rear, rather than staging provocations and playing into the enemy's hands."
