Ukrainian world boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk has made a passionate plea to Donald Trump to use his influence with Russian President Vladimir Putin to release the defenders of the Azovstal steel plant. These POWs, including members of the Azov regiment and other units, symbolize Ukraine’s resilience during the war. However, about 700 Azov fighters are still held captive by Russian forces. Usyk took to social media to ask Joe Rogan, an American podcaster with upcoming episodes featuring Trump, to convey his message. Trump’s previous statements about his relationship with Putin have raised hopes for potential assistance in Ukraine’s struggle against Russian aggression. As the U.S. presidential election approaches, it remains to be seen how Trump’s promises to end Russia’s war could impact the region. The urgency of the situation is highlighted by the ongoing plight of the Azovstal defenders. Join us in supporting independent journalism in Ukraine to shed light on this crucial issue.
