On his Facebook page, Oleksiy Arestovich, advisor to the head of the presidential office, answered numerous questions from Ukrainians about what had happened the day before in Mariupol.
"In Mariupol, units of the 36th Marine Brigade, as a result of a complex and very risky maneuver, broke through to join the Azov regiment, which professionally secured the event.
The results?
1. "Azov" received substantial reinforcements.
2. The 36 Brigade avoided being defeated piece by piece and received additional serious opportunities, in fact it gained a second chance.
3. The defenders of the city, now together, seriously strengthened their defense area.
All in all, the city's defense system grew and strengthened.
This is what happens when the officers do not lose their heads and firmly keep control of the troops.
Let us not lose it either.
The army knows what it's doing," Arestovich wrote.
