a 1000 civilians and 2000 ukrainian fighters. i believe to have ended up inside the plant surrounded by russian forces in the last ukrainian held territory. and the port city people who were evacuated, spoke of the terror they experienced and of having to live in darkness for more than 60 days. because when the shell started landing out of a star, i thought my heart would stop and i would not survive it. a ukrainian commander still in the bunker says there's not enough water. and the s tales of decomposing bodies. ja du sir? sure. oh, glad separate. all that, sir, i hope the evacuations will continue. hope our government and a 3rd party, the un mission, the red cross will all try to evacuate all civilians, not only from the plans, but from mario, poland, general. i also hope to evacuate all the injures and kills who have accurate all soldiers who are here now. it will be what there's. some of those evacuated went to the russian health village of busy men, others headed to ukrainian territory. the city of separation. matter,
