The warrier name of Alex Denali is “East” and he was one of the fighters who in 2022 flew into occupied Mariupol to defend the city against the Russian invaders.
After the fall of Mariupol in May 2022, Alex Denali did not give himself up to the Russian military and remained in hiding in the Azovstal Steel Factory. He finally made it home to Ukraine after a long Odysee.
The story of this escape is worthy of a screen adaptation. Watch the interview hearing the amazing story from Alex himself, English subtitles available.
