ZAPORIZHZHIA – One hundred and fifty-six women, the elderly and children who survived for two months the Russian bombing of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol arrived yesterday afternoon in unoccupied Ukraine after a forty-hour journey – thanks to an evacuation negotiated with many difficulties by the United Nations . They are direct witnesses of the most brutal military operation ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin in the context of the Ukrainian invasion and perhaps his twenty years in power: the one that had as its objective the conquest of Mariupol, a city placed in a strategic position on the Ukrainian coast.
