Ukraine over the weekend hailed the release of a celebrated medic whose footage was smuggled out of the besieged city of Mariupol by a team of journalists in a tampon in mid-March.
“I always believed that everything would be exactly this, and everyone who is now on the other side, they know everything will work out,” Yuliia Paievska said in a video address on Saturday in which she thanked the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, for her release.
