and sky being targeted fortunately when this five story apartment building was heat no word was heard by the time had happened almost all of the residents have already fled minutes later we come across two of the handful of people still living here and they're clearly terrified. so. many of those still here high the elderly hold to seek to leave. and like elenor they're forced to take shelter in their basements when the shelling begins they do realize they're dug did you look out at me mohammad gov sheila look at the large media i don't know what at all events you know they're your buddies i am the hornet across the globe then your point of. view of clear for the couple barbara i

know but did you know that oh by the hanging of the boat but it really angered her i was there although this is the scene in lugansk central market it was hit on monday but the smell of burning still hangs heavy in the air and its team in the line of fire this is a ghost city market and mon cher who fear groups who. will rush to the nearest bomb shelter in another basement. candles can still be found in the shops and they've become crucial in a city without electricity. who just about to start feeling of peace to have her own show her just minutes away from us the near constant bombardment is taking its toll on locals who don't. call your interviewer.

victoria tells us she has little choice but to state what you usually only a couple. why don't you know why you're going to be thousands of refugees have pulled out of the guns to escape their recent shelling and even if this turns out to be the final assault on the city as the government in kiev claims the effects of this is stained fighting will be felt by civilians here for many years to come. or even ocean r.t. iligan ski crane. these are just some of the people who also received a much needed russian aid in lugansk the city has been facing a humanitarian catastrophe and even essential items are hard to get tons of food or medicine and other supplies were delivered to advance by a convoy of russian trucks humanitarian column was stalled at the border for over a week because kev was reluctant to let it in the red cross was also involved in the mission it criticized the delay siding with terrible humanitarian situation in

the city the i.c.r.c. regrets that customs inspector inspections as agreed to between the russian federation and ukrainian authorities where delayed by the ukrainian authorities the many german situation there is dire. we found in the city without water. without electricity without supplies. and cut off from the rest of the world and we. had sensual infrastructure. of authorities describe the crossing of the border by of the russian aid convoy as a direct invasion that is despite earlier giving the green light to the mission now the sentiment has been echoed by a handful of western media outlets with headlines comparing that the convoy to a trojan horse and even saying that the trucks were in fact artillery units however those accusations have been dismissed by many. they have really off the scale isn't

it because it seems ok for the western powers to bomb sovereign states for humanitarian reasons but it's not ok for russia the same did a humanitarian aid convoy if russia did invade the ukraine we know about it wouldn't we the ukrainians we're not going to allow this convoy is pretty clear they're going to find any excuse to stop it from going through that as they were doing this people are being killed and dying in the east of ukraine and that really is outrageous the double standards here this is. pinnacle of hypocrisy there it's clear that there is no invasion it's clear that the convoy is purely humanitarian and it's clear that the arrival of the convoy has a point to underscore to the rest of the world that there is no invasion that the only people suffering here are the peaceful people in eastern ukraine that their own government is trying to murder and that's a problem and so they need to divert attention from this to some sort of hypocritical talk of russian invasion. russia's journalistic community has appealed
