2. Never forget the heroes of Azovstal who are still suffering in Russian captivity. I mention them in every email and phone call to political representatives I make, and I make a lot.

3. All defenders there got betrayed by the corrupt government and parts of the security forces of Mariupol and still they kept the resistance for such a long time.

   They are the saviors of the free Europe and Ukraine. It was the 21th century battle of the Thermopylen.

   They showed everyone that resistance is possible!

   It hurts, that they had/have such a big price to pay.

   Edit: just added second Tab for better structure

9. My children’s children will learn about them, but first they must be Free !!

10. Based Nazis.

11. Its still a shame that mariupol’s officials didnt allow Azov to prep the defense line many years ago even when they told them that the city will face another battle in the future.
