Ukrainian Diaspora Calls For The Liberation Of Mariupol Defenders

KRAKOW, POLAND - MAY 21, 2023: Members of the local Ukrainian diaspora gather at the main Market Square in Krakow to commemorate the defenders of Mariupol held in Russian captivity, demanding their release and honoring their sacrifice, on Sunday, May 21, 2023, in Krakow, Poland. In solidarity with the defenders of Mariupol, the Ukrainian diaspora in Poland and Europe gathered today to honor those still held captive in Russian prisons. The '365 Days of Hell' event in Krakow, organised by SUN for Ukraine, served as a poignant reminder of the torture endured by these brave soldiers. Despite a year having passed since the battle for Azovstal, over 1,900 defenders, including 700 Azov Regiment members, remain captive. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto via Getty Images)
