I can't confirm if this is real or not, but looking at the situation as it stands, I tend to believe it.
A message from the 36th Naval Infantry Brigade, currently in Mariupol
(Google translate)
Dear Ukrainian people.
The Mi 36 Marine Infantry Brigade named after Rear Admiral Mikhail Bilinsky, having refused to break the oath in 2014, left Crimea and continued to victoriously victoriously defend the defense of Ukraine.
For the past 47 days, we have been sacking Mariupol for an ear of vine. We were bombed from planes, we were fired upon from artillery, tanks and other weapons. We adequately held the defense by doing the impossible. But any resources tend to run out.
During the hostilities, we were once given 50,122 shells, 20 mines a few enlavs and starlink Elon Musk - thanks Elon, he survived many air strikes and is still working. Nothing else was given to us. Without BC, not being able to defend, the enemy gradually pushed us back to the Azovmash plant, surrounded us with fire and is now trying to destroy us. There was an option to bring reserves to us in order to strengthen and continue the defense. There were options for the brigade to make a breakthrough and go out to their troops. We reported this to OTU Skhid and they started planning the operation. Sodol, Delyatitsky tried to do something, but their senior staffs turned around. We reported this to the OOS, they said, we're working, we were working, they promised a helicopter that never arrived. We talked with the commander in chief who promised to deblockade. We spoke with the Guarantor who guaranteed us either a political or military solution to the situation. For more than a month, the Marines fought without replenishment of ammunition, without food, without water, almost licking from a puddle and dying in batches. The mountain of the wounded makes up almost half of the brigade. Those whose limbs are not torn off and can walk are returned to duty. The infantry was all killed and the artillerymen, anti-aircraft gunners, the signalmen of the driver and the turn, are conducting rifle battles. Even the orchestra. They die but fight. We are slowly ending. Wise generals advise taking ammunition from the enemy. Probably these savka SUVs have not died out, so a lot of people will die in vain because of them. There were chances. There were opportunities, but because of the sluggishness to report vertically, they were not implemented. No one wants to communicate with us anymore because we are decommissioned. Today there will probably be an extreme fight, since there is no bc left. Further into hand-to-hand combat. Further death for some, and captivity for some.
Dear Ukrainian people.
I don’t know what will happen next, but I really ask you to remember the marines with a kind word and no matter how events develop further, don’t speak badly about the marines.
They did everything possible and impossible.
