The Russians continue to advance in eastern Ukraine. The France Télévisions teams went to the last road to Severodonetsk.

This is the road that Ukrainians must not miss, the last one leading to Severodonetsk, east of Donbass, in Ukraine. The France Télévisions team only came across ambulances, tanks and cars on the roadside, blown up by the Russian attacks. “This road is very dangerous, because on the right, maybe five or six kilometers at most, there is Russian artillery. He bombards her every day”says a Ukrainian soldier. The region lives under extreme pressure.

The governor now only moves in armor. He is a prime target for the Russians. “It is now impossible to advance a possible humanitarian convoy, impossible to announce an evacuation of civilians on this road, because our cars are systematically targeted”asserts Serhiy Haydan, governor of the Luhansk region. Some residents met by the France Télévisions teams show their support for the Russian troops.
