>I think the most outspoken ones were sent to Mariupol to get rid of them
No, you fucking retard. They fought in the First and Second Battle of Mariupol in 2014.
The Russians were just 10km away from Mariupol back in 2015. Azov was part of the operation to defend that axis and the Russians had a temper tantrum and just launched a rocket attack at the city. So Azov became garrisoned there until 2016 and returned in 2019.
They weren't sent into Mariupol to die. They were already there in 2022.
