The departure under the utmost secrecy
Because a few days later Giulia left in great secrecy alone to Ukraine. With her only a backpack. And today, almost a month after hostilities broke out, the 23yearold is on the front lines, enlisted as a volunteer in the International Territorial Defense Legion of Ukraine, a military unit formed under the leadership of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to join the Defense of Ukraine against Russian invasion. she herself communicated the decision to Roberta Rei, the correspondent of Iene the show Italia 1 to whom she has just sent a series of testimonials that will be broadcast from tonight. He called me and said “I’m leaving tomorrow”. I was petrified, explains the Mediaset journalist.
She is the only woman in the legion
Giulia Jasmine Schiff’s journey took place in several stages, mostly in secrecy. Finch managed to break into the military group thanks to some local contacts. She is the only woman in the Legion that she has already become a mascot of sorts. After a few days of training (which, however, did not include the flight), the young Venetian, gun in hand, was to make his first missions around Kyiv. But where exactly is impossible to know: security problems. Even his cell phone was unavailable last night. In the only windows of communication, Giulia sent the first videos to Roberta Rei, with whom she struck up a friendship at the time of the eviction and related trial (which she lost before the TAR) for reinstatement at the Aeronautical Academy. I did it Giulia Schiff would have confessed to enlisting in the legionnaires because I was born to help our Ukrainian brothers and prevent the war from reaching us. I am against the tide he would add : while many are fleeing, I am going towards the combat zones. Some traces of the adventure in the war can be seen on Instagram, where the young woman defines herself as a legionnaire who shows herself in uniform (with the words somewhere on earth, somewhere on earth) next to a combat rifle and shares a few seconds of it Video shot in the streets of the alleged Ukrainian capital.
Not ready to return until end of conflict
According to what has been communicated to Rei, the soldier Giulia has no intention of returning to Italy until the end of the conflict and joining forces with his comrades to try to repel the Russian advance. After all, as he repeatedly wrote on Facebook, in his opinion one must act somehow: How many useless words, but what penalties? Why can we really help and instead just watch? Are they really worried about the price of gas and the migrating refugees? All this hypocrisy will have consequences. Shame.
