Vladimir Putin claims his victory in Mariupol (Ukraine). Russia also presented its new nuclear missile, the Sarmat.
In Zaporijia, Ukraine, on Thursday, April 21, buses dropped off civilians who had just been evacuated from Mariupol. A new humanitarian corridor is being set up. This is the result of successful negotiations between Kiev and Moscow (Russia), as widely reported by the Russian media. Vladimir Putin claims victory in Mariupol. State television reports show images of a hospital allegedly destroyed by the Ukrainians.
During a public interview with his defense minister, the Russian president showed relative leniency to the Ukrainian resistance fighters at the Azovstal plant. “I believe that the attack on the industrial zone is not appropriate, I order it to be canceled. Block this entire zone, no fly is allowed to pass”, he says. Vladimir Putin stages his omnipotence, after the presentation the day before of his last nuclear missile, the Sarmat. He could reach London (United Kingdom) in seven minutes. The head of state multiplies the speeches as his country prepares to celebrate the Red Army’s victory over Nazi Germany as it does every 9 May. There must be a big parade.
