"Everyone feels fear": Avdiivka residents about staying in a city that is destroyed by occupiers

According to journalists, it is difficult and dangerous to evacuate people from the city. Locals often do not want to leave home, even despite combat. Despite the fact that Avdiivka in Donetsk is constantly under the fire of Russian troops, civilians remain in the city. BBC writes about it. According to a woman named Anna, she cannot leave, because she does not want to leave her 71-year-old mother. "She is 71 years old and her leg problems.

If she stays alone, she will have neither water nor firewood for heating," Anna told reporters. It is reported that a woman with her mother live on the fifth floor in the apartment. "Windows and doors are knocked out everywhere. Since the attacks occur daily, they are difficult to repair, because the next day they will break again," she said. According to her, even a hike to the last working shop in a city, which was also destroyed, could turn into death.

"There are no places where you can hide in case of attack . . . If you hear a whistle, you will not have enough time to get to a safe place," Anna said. Now, residents are reportedly relying on a local "point of indomitable". For some, he even became home. For example, for a 40-year-old Marina nurse. Her house was badly damaged, so she had to move to the basement. "Rockets fly every night. Every day and every night. There are too many. Everyone feels fear," she said.

The publication writes that it is difficult and dangerous to evacuate people from the city. The special unit of the White Angels is engaged in evacuation. However, locals often do not want to leave home, even despite combat. "Shells are constantly being fired to the city and the surrounding villages. Either artillery units, or volley fire systems, or aviation are driven by aviation, rockets. They attack cities and villages, homes where people live," said Gennady police officer.
