Children, elderly people and wounded soldiers are still trapped in the tunnels of the Mariupol steel mill where Putin ordered “not a fly to leave”

In the land of the great theater master, Konstantin Stanislaski, his disciple Boleslawaski who introduced the theatrical method in the United States, or authors such as Anton Chekhov, the representation of Vladimir Putin and his reappeared Minister of Defense to announce the seizure of the first major city in Ukraine after almost two months of war, showed a marked contrast. It was an extraordinary stage poverty. Minister Sergei Shoigu — who had been fired from the cast immediately after the first failures in the invasion — reappeared to awkwardly inform his boss that after 50 days of heavy bombing and 80% of the city's infrastructure destroyed, Russian forces had taken control of Mariupol. But he had to admit, immediately afterwards, that this was not so because there was still a focus of resistance in the huge Azovstal factory.
