“From the beginning... we have been defending Mariupol for 47 days," the Marines wrote. "We were bombed from airplanes, we were shot from artillery, tanks and other fire materials. We kept the defense worthy by doing the impossible. But any resources have a potential to run out." 
 

“For more than a month, the Marines fought without refilling ammunition, without food, without water... [but now] the mountain of wounded makes up almost half of the crew," it continued. "Those who have unbroken limbs and can walk, return in order." 

The Marines also say their unit is "dying but fighting" and "gradually we are coming to an end." 
 

“Further is death for some, but captivity for some," it said. "I don't know what's next, but I really ask you to remember the Marines with a kind word and no matter how they develop further, do not talk badly about the Marines." 
 

"They did everything possible and impossible," the statement concluded.
