Operation Babushka: the inside story
Today’s cover story: Operation Babushka, the plan hatched by a Sydney woman to rescue her 91-year-old grandmother from Kyiv.
A parallel story to the war horrors in Ukraine has been the kindness of strangers, the good people who stepped up at great risk to their own safety; the true heroes.
We have a taste of that in journalist Will Swanton’s story on Operation Babushka, the desperate plan hatched by a woman in Sydney to get her frail 91-year-old grandmother out of Kyiv. It’s an extraordinary tale featuring a colourful cast of characters who could have easily looked the other way, but didn’t.
