Spouses Vitaly and Alla Taran, Azov Regiment staff, died in Mariupol in the war
Vitaly and Alla married and had a son in Mariupol. The couple worked in the kitchen almost from the very beginning of the Azov Regiment’s founding in 2014. Then they joined the service: the woman became a clerk and the man became the director of finance. But Vitaly died on April 15 in the war. And on May 8, an air bomb killed Alla. Their young son was left an orphan.
, Deputy Commander of the Azov Regiment, told the tragic story of the family. The man says that unfortunately, whole families are dying in Mariupol now.
We have no right to forget anyone. Eternal memory to the departed!
I'm not a huge believer in petitions and that they can actually change anything, especially in this case, but at this point the situation is so dire that I'm ready to try anything, because I won't forgive myself if I personally won't try everything.
Please take a minute to sign the petition above asking UN to launch an urgent 'extraction' procedure of Mariupol defenders (and civilians that are still there) from Azovstal. We already have no time left, so this needs to be done asap, russian troops already entered some parts of Azovstal and the footage we occasionally still get from there is simply gore. Russian army didn't show any mercy to civilians, so I'm afraid to even imagine what they'll do to Mariupol defenders if they manage to capture them. We could not let that happen!
Organisers said that we need at least 1 000 000 signatures under this petition to be taken even remotely serious. For now we only have quarter of that and we need your help.
Please sign this petition! Please spread it everywhere you can and emphasise to people how urgent this is.

Vladyslav, a fighter of the "Azov" regiment, survived the battles for "Azovstal" and was able to get out of Mariupol. He lost his leg and the opportunity to serve in the army. While his brothers are in Russian captivity, it is difficult for Vlad to get used to civilian life.
