next few days

France intends to launch an international rescue operation in the devastated Ukrainian city of Mariupol, President Emmanuel Macron said Friday.

The "exceptional humanitarian operation" would begin within "the next few days," Macron said, adding that he would finalize the details over the next 48 hours in a call with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, Le Monde reported.

Around 100,000 people remain trapped in the port city, which has been bombed and besieged by Russian forces for weeks now. On Friday, local authorities said some 300 people were killed last week after Russia bombed a theater that was being used as a shelter. The United Nations said it has also received evidence of mass graves in Mariupol, with one containing 200 corpses.

Macron said the mission to evacuate the city's remaining inhabitants would be conducted with the help of Turkey and Greece. All three nations are members of NATO.

2. Turkey in control of the Straits into the Black Sea

Egypt in control of the Suez Canal.

Straits of Gibraltar are tight enough

Not a lot of places for Putin’s navy to go to.

Good luck to this 3 nation effort.

3. Impressive the way these European countries are sticking together

It's a big deal to many of them, they have small economies, they often aren't a perfect symbiosis of ideologies and political systems, yet look at them, and look at the way PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN has rebuilt NATO and the US reputation around the world. In a nick of time too.
