War in Ukraine: a few kilometers from the front line, Ukrainian villages are deserted
(France 2)
The Russian army is advancing on the front. She claims to have conquered a region of the municipality of Donietsk. A few kilometers from Adviivka, residents are preparing to leave.
A front line closing in, and villages trapped under a deluge of strikes. A Ukrainian police unit is responsible for evacuating residents from the east of the country. Since Russian forces confirmed their push into Donbass, the lives of many villagers hang by a thread. There are often injured people to transport.
The Ukrainian army retreats
A strike has just targeted a village 5 km from the fighting. In recent days, Moscow has claimed the capture of several villages in the Avdiivka region. The Russians exhaust the Ukrainians out of ammunition.
While waiting for American aid, the army organized its withdrawal and dug new trenches. A little further away, the post office moves to a safer location, several kilometers away. The boss of a dairy farm has just decided to cease his activity. He sold his 800 cows and laid off his employees. As the Russians advance, the villages are emptied one after the other.
