Claws out... Cpt Palamar says he will lead a bayonet charge
THE hero leading the defence of besieged Mariupol has vowed to take on the invading Russians in a bayonet charge when their ammo runs out.
Captain Sviatoslav Palamar, of the National Guard Azov Regiment, spoke to The Sun as he prepares a last stand at the city’s steel works.
He said: “We have no way to evacuate the wounded or to hand the dead soldiers’ bodies over to their families. But we are in touch with the army leadership. There is no order to leave the city, so we continue the war.
“We still hope, we obey orders and we are faithful to the oath. Mariupol is a Ukrainian city — and we will fight for it.
“If we are told to counter-attack, to break through to meet the Ukrainian army, of course we will. If we run out of ammo, we’ll tie bayonets and go to hand-to-hand combat.”
Praising the UK he added: “Thank you for your support, for what the UK is doing for Ukraine.
“The British are the people who stood up to Hitler, who fought bravely. The British military knows how to fight.
“I would ask for more determination and perseverance in supporting Ukraine. We need more weapons — to defend and attack.
“We have man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems, but a plane flying at an altitude of 77km cannot be reached by them.
“If we had actual air defence, we would have shot down the planes that bombed the theatre, the residential buildings, the maternity hospital here. Thousands of people in Mariupol would still be alive.”
