On Monday, May 16, 2022, Russian forces recorded a snub in Kharkiv, Ukraine. They lost the city, recovered by Ukrainian forces. Russian troops are now concentrating on the Donbass.

After a defeat in Kharkiv, the Russian troops try to keep their advantages and the territories already conquered in the Donbass. The Ukrainian resistance is still present despite daily bombings that devastate the various Ukrainian cities. The fighting continues more and more on Ukrainian soil.

In cellars or in shelters, the Ukrainian population tries to protect itself as best it can. Some live at fourteen in a tiny shelter. We are almost always in the basement since March 1″testifies a Ukrainian woman. In tears, she adds on hearing a bombardment: “We don’t sleep, we almost always keep one eye open.” Another woman exclaims: “How many more years will we have to stay in the basement?”
