In Petro's words: "About Mariupol - not a victim, but a warrior. About our Resistance. About the people with whom I work and fight together - the greatest honour for me. As candidly and personally as possible."
Inside occupied Mariupol, Ukraine’s underground resistance is fighting back in the shadows.⁠ ⁠ Speaking to The Telegraph’s Defence Editor @DomNicholls, one saboteur describes a covert war driven by “fury” and survival, from car bombings targeting Russian-installed officials to poisoned vodka at military gatherings.⁠ ⁠ Head to the story to understand how they operate ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…

The best saboteurs are not necessarily those you’d expect. Key qualities needed? Creativity, power and “you have to be a believer”. The best motivation? "Fury" and a desire for revenge.
