On the side of a road, the name of Severodonetsk (Ukraine) is written in the colors of Ukraine. Industrial before the war, the city is almost ghostly today. In total, 95% residents fled. On the facades of the buildings, there are still the black traces left by the bombs and the fires. “Where do you want us to go? And what money are we going to leave with? We don’t have a penny. We have nowhere to go“, grieved a couple.

In front of a monumental building, volunteers are busy delivering packets of milk, canned meat or crisps. When the town hall arrives, other volunteers leave to drop off packages in the damaged city. A journey for only a few kilometers. It is also necessary to clear the fallen trees in the middle of the streets. The volunteers finally arrive in a building courtyard. One after the other, the inhabitants come out of their cellars. This is the first time they have been supplied in more than fifty days.
