Thousands of people have lost their lives in the war that started with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24. In Ukraine, where many cities were destroyed, about 5 million people had to leave their country.
The evacuation of the civilians trapped in the Azovstal factory in the city of Mariupol, which has become a symbol of the resistance against the Russian occupation for Ukraine, has been completed.
It was announced that 300 civilians were evacuated yesterday from the factory in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, which was besieged by Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced that the focus will now be on the evacuation of the injured and medical workers at the Azovstal plant. Ukrainian fighters at the factory in this strategic port city refuse to surrender.
THE DAY OF VICTORY IS WAITING
It is estimated that the Russian forces are waiting for the Victory Day celebrations to be held tomorrow in Moscow to declare victory in the siege of Azovstal, which has been going on for weeks.
President Vladimir Putin will also watch the military parade to be held in Moscow on the Victory Day, which will celebrate Russia’s superiority over Germany in the Second World War.
