Ukrainians in exile plan to rebuild Russian-occupied home city with help from University of Hull
Architects rebuilding the destroyed city of Mariupol will learn lessons from Hull, which was regenerated after heavy bombing in the blitz, the rector of Mariupol’s university has said.
Mariupol, a city under Russian control in south-east Ukraine, became emblematic of the brutality of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine after it was besieged by troops in February 2022 and endured 80 days of bombardment.
