Ukraine-Russia: news on today’s war.  The Azovstal still holds out

Joe Biden and Prime Minister Mario Draghi met in the Oval Office for a visit “aimed at showing the unity of the allies against the Russian invasion but it also provided a window on different approaches to the conflict”. The Washington Post writes it after the meeting between the two leaders, which lasted an hour and a half. Draghi said that “we must use every channel for peace, for a ceasefire and the start of credible negotiations”. And he added that “in Italy and in Europe now people want to put an end to these massacres, this violence, this butchery”. It is with this hope, far from materializing for now, that the 77th day of war in Ukraine begins. Russian attacks continue especially in the east and south of the country. And the resistance of the fighters barricaded in the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol continues, where the Ukrainian flag still flies. The plant will be conquered by Russian troops, but surely those who are fighting there are selling their skin at a high price. Meanwhile, Belarus deploys troops at the border and there is a stop to Russian gas that passes through the Donbass.

A member of Pussy Riot has fled Russia.

She acted that she cost the woman two years in prison for “hooliganism”. After being jailed six more times since last summer, each time for 15 days, last April, when Putin began to harshly crack down on any criticism of the invasion of Ukraine, authorities announced that Alyokhina’s house arrest would be turned into a penal colony in 21 days. So Pussy Riot decided it was time for her to leave Russia, at least temporarily. And she succeeded, writes the New York Times, disguising herself as a food delivery clerk to escape the Moscow police, who guarded her friend’s apartment where she was staying. The woman left her cell phone in her house to avoid being tracked down. Helped by friends, she then managed to arrive in Lithuania after a few days.
