According Alexander Khodakovsky, the founder of the Vostok Battalion (DPR), 9 Ukrainian soldiers have surrendered at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol.
“Now a lively stage of negotiations is underway. It was just the first group leaving. As it turned out, the group left, representing the interests of a larger group that continues to be at Azovstal,” Khodakovsky said on the air of the 60 Minutes program on the Rossiya 1 TV channel.
Earlier this morning, Russian authorities agreed to evacuate wounded Ukrainian troops from Mariupol steelworks, and ordered that soldiers were to be taken to hospital in separatist-controlled town, making them prisoners of war.

If true, it's not surprising MSM is silent; this doesn't fit the narrative being portrayed.

Because it would hurt the russophobia narrative and it would prove that Russians were right about the Neo Nazis been part of the Ukrainian army.

Perhaps because it's just russia finally relenting to months long global pressure to allow evacuation of their wounded soldiers?

Usually when a military group starts sending its wounded out to the other side , it is a very bad situation for that group .
There are various reasons for that , and none of them good.
Nothing at all to do with "global pressure" .
Basically , using history as a precedence , that side is losing.

Nothing could ever prove what was always fake russian propaganda, it isn't even close to reality.
Nothing ever will.

Its not fake propaganda.
The Neo Nazis in Ukraine and in Mariupol had a headquarters, there were videos of Russian forces coming to the area during the start of the campaign in the city.
The building had far right flags near the building.
You can look for the videos on twitter or other social media platforms.

So , you agree against all your MSM rhetoric , the Ukrainians are not exactly in a good position ?

Agreed.
Nobody ever said the Ukrainian troops there were in anything but a horrible situation, but that doesn't change the facts about how this occured, and those facts don't match the ridiculous russian propaganda in this thread.

Did they 'surrender', as you claimed?
Or did they transfer seriously wounded soldiers, as the facts clearly demonstrate?
So why did you make stuff up about Ukrainians surrendering?

Reports indicate that they're being taken into Donestk. They're in the custody of Russian forces, not Ukrainian.
