In Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky pledged to do everything to defend Donbass, where the Russian offensive is intensifying. However, the president recognizes that the situation is very difficult.

On the last images of the city of Lyman (Donestsk, Ukraine) received by the France Télévisions teams before its fall, we discover the ultimate evacuation mission by the Ukrainians, under almost constant bombardment. At any moment, the enemy can appear at the end of the street.

Bags of food are left for those who prefer to stay put, and who agree to live under the Russian yoke. Just hours later, the last Ukrainian territorial forces blew up the bridge that connected Lyman to Free Ukraine. Russia is stepping up its offensive in the Donbass. On satellite images, the ground appears riddled with shell holes. On the route of the Russians, the police go from house to house to ask the population to evacuate.
