MOSCOW, April 17./TASS/. The Russian Armed Forces offer the militants
from the nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries blocked in
Mariupol to end hostilities and lay down arms from 06:00 Moscow time on
Sunday, April 17, their lives will be spared, Mikhail Mizintsev, chief of
Russia’s National Defense Management Center, said on Saturday.

"Given the catastrophic situation at the Azovstal iron and steel works, and
out of purely humane principles, the Russian Armed Forces offer the
militants from nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries to end
hostilities and lay down arms from 06:00 Moscow time on April 17, 2022.
The lives of all those who lay down their arms will be spared," the
statement said.

The following algorithm is suggested - from 05:00, a constant

communication is established between the Russian and Ukrainian sides to
exchange information. A ceasefire is announced from 05:30 Moscow time.
At 06:00, the sides raise flags - red flags from the Russian side and white
flags along the whole perimeter of the plant by the Ukrainian side.

Besides, the fact of readiness for the ceasefire by the sides is confirmed
through all channels of communication. From 06:00 to 13:00 - all without
exception Ukrainian armed units and foreign mercenaries leave without
any weapons or ammunition whatsoever.

The subject matter of radio communications of units of nationalists and

mercenaries blocked at Azovstal testifies to their hopeless situation. They
demand that the official Kiev give them permission to surrender, but in
reply they are threatened with executions, Mikhail Mizintsev stressed.

"Within April 16, 2022, a sharp increase was recorded in the intensity of
radio communications of militants from nationalist units and foreign
mercenaries blocked in Mariupol at the Azovstal metallurgical plant," he
reported. "The content of radio interceptions (there were 367 of them
alone in the past 24 hours) indicates that the militants offering resistance
are in a hopeless situation, practically without food and water. They urge
permission to lay down arms and surrender from the Kiev authorities.
Meanwhile, representatives of the Kiev authorities categorically forbid
them to do this and threaten with subsequent executions under the
‘wartime’ conditions," the statement said.
