Fighter of the Azov regiment: The 36th brigade was preparing to defend the Isthmus, but they were sent near Mariupol at the last moment
Before the start of the war, the marines of the 36th brigade named after Rear Admiral Mikhail Bilinsky were preparing to attack the Russian invaders from the Crimea, but at the last moment the unit received an order to go to the «M&# sector 187; near Mariupol. This was told by a fighter of the regiment «Azov» Nikolai «Frost» Kushch.
«For example, I know that the 36th brigade was being coordinated to repel an offensive through this isthmus. This was their area of responsibility. They were supposed to step in there and keep the defense… They were removed at the last moment and sent to the front in the sector & # 171; M & # 187; » — these are Shirokino, Pavlopol, Vodyanoye. Although it was not their turn — they recently returned from the rotation… The isthmus was cleared. There were no real forces there…»,— Kusch told.
