“These people managed to save their lives, but they stayed in Makiivka to the last – in a settlement that has already been destroyed by 99% by the Russians. Today, there is not a single resident left there. The fighting is going on right next door. That is why we insist on evacuating other villages every day as long as it is relatively safe,” said the head of the Luhansk CMA.
