 A Ukrainian soldier escaped the Azov style steel plant in Mariupol, Ukraine that was taken over by Russian troops and walked 200 kilometres or 125 miles to freedom. Oleksandr Ivansov was one of the defenders of Azov style steel plant, the last stronghold of Ukrainian resistance. It was besieged by Russian forces for three months in 2022. Even after the defenders had been ordered to lay down their arms, Oleksandr refused and hid in a shelter in the steel plant. He lived there with a small supply of food and water. He even heard the enemy walking around the plant. After a week, Oleksandr decided to leave his hiding place. He changed into civilian clothes and passed through 200 kilometres of Russian held territory before making it back to Ukrainian controlled land on June 6th, 2022.
