Russian shells destroyed every second house in villages near the border, told by locals to journalists of "Public". In the Chernihiv region, about two dozen citizens continue to live 1 km from the Russian-Ukrainian border. Every second house is destroyed by shells or drones of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. People live almost without light and communication, but they will not leave. What happens with people on the border was told on the portal "Public".

The journalists of the portal visited two villages of the Semeniv community in Chernihiv. To the settlements they reached the car "Ukrposhta" - this is the only contact of locals with "Big Land". The roads are not cleaned, there is almost no connection, there is no medicine, there is no access to doctors, - they heard from people. Citizens suffer from daily shelling of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for almost two years, lose their homes and all property, but they do not plan to go.

"We do not know what will happen at all. We do not want to go anywhere. There are explosions, it is scary, and we do not want to go to children. We have at least shells fall, and there - 20 missiles," the local resident's opinion said. The video fell the remains of the house, completely destroyed by the fire after the Russians. The owner of the house said that they barely had time to jump and now lives with neighbors. The son saved his passport and now this document is everything she has.

The post office and the driver of "Ukrposhta" regularly come to the villages of the Semyoniv community - they bring a pension to people. To get a pension, all available residents gather in one house. The place of receipt of the pension from time to time changes - the previous premises were twice destroyed by the Russians, said Postarka. People have the opportunity to buy bread, but the car with products does not come every day, the residents explained.

The chairman of the Kostobobriv community (Semenovsky district of Chernihiv region) told reporters that one and a half hundred people lived in the villages where they visited. There are now up to two dozen. Every second house is destroyed by Russian troops, and people move from one house to another to survive a group somehow.
