Escape from Mariupol: how one Ukrainian soldier fled the Azovstal steelworks against the odds
Exclusive: The odyssey of Oleksandr Ivantsov who fought with the Azov brigade and eluded Russian troops in a blockade Putin called so tight "a fly can't get through"
May 2022 and Oleksandr Ivantsov was trapped. The Russians had seized the city of Mariupol. A small island of territory, the Azovstal steelworks, remained under Ukrainian control. For weeks, Ivantsov and his fellow soldiers had lived in a network of underground shelters, shared with a few civilians. Now this grim subterranean existence was coming to an end.
Russian bombs fell continuously. There was no prospect of escape. Vladimir Putin had ordered a blockade so tight "that a fly can't get through". Under pressure from Kyiv the Ukrainian garrison, composed of 2,500 service personnel, some of them gravely wounded, had reluctantly agreed to surrender. The alternative was certain death.
Or was it? As his battalion prepared to go into Russian captivity, Ivantsov came up with an extraordinary plan.

May 23, 2022, Lviv, Ukraine: Tetyana A., who was once a journalist herself, is a survivor of war-crimes committed by Russian soldiers in Kherson. On her way out, her passport, wallet, and bag were stolen by a young conscript. She was beaten, and responded by kicking the soldier between the legs. He retaliated by kicking her to the ground, concussing her and breaking her spine. She's got nothing left, and is struggling to find the 330USD needed for her back surgery.

NEWS - Ukraine-Krieg: Stahlwerk Azovstal in Mariupol unter schwerem Beschuss
VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM
This video, published by defenders from the Azov Regiment on Thursday (05May2022) at 6pm BST, shows the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol being shelled by Russian forces. The steelworks is the last pocket of resistance in the Southern Ukrainian city, which has faced some of the heaviest bombardment from Russian missiles and artillery during a siege which has lasted more than a month.
Over the previous weekend, a lull in fighting allowed more than 150 civilians trapped in the plant and its bunkers to be evacuated, but others are still inside, according to Azov Regiment soldiers who have been fighting off renewed Russian attempts to take the plant and full control of Mariupol in recent days.
A statement posted on the Telegram app by the defenders said they were "keeping" the plant "under heavy fire".

NEWS - Ukraine-Krieg: Stahlwerk Azovstal in Mariupol unter schwerem Beschuss
VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM
This video, published by defenders from the Azov Regiment on Thursday (05May2022) at 6pm BST, shows the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol being shelled by Russian forces. The steelworks is the last pocket of resistance in the Southern Ukrainian city, which has faced some of the heaviest bombardment from Russian missiles and artillery during a siege which has lasted more than a month.
Over the previous weekend, a lull in fighting allowed more than 150 civilians trapped in the plant and its bunkers to be evacuated, but others are still inside, according to Azov Regiment soldiers who have been fighting off renewed Russian attempts to take the plant and full control of Mariupol in recent days.
A statement posted on the Telegram app by the defenders said they were "keeping" the plant "under heavy fire".
