the border between russia and ukraine. well what we can see in this new brain could definitely be described as a very dramatic state to school children in clashes there continued with the death toll including among civilian population also continuing to climb as residential areas often get called to the deadly crossfire when ukrainian army and to government forces fight will seek to send to the just the gaza city itself has claimed that at least five residents were killed in the last twenty four hours humanitarian situation to see to remains a very tense electricity there has been kushal for several days already there are also problems with the running water and the officials of the self-centered probably all of the guns and little of the truth lead to a real humanitarian catastrophe and of course in this situation people continue to flee what they call the war zone right now next to the russian ukrainian border that every day tens and sometimes even hundreds of people try to cross and the cross in itself very often becomes
