In Donetsk region, police officers, risking their lives, evacuate residents of Siversk
People are taken out in armored vehicles, every exit is a mortal danger. The Russian army drops more than 200 shells on the city every day, and recently an evacuation car was almost hit by enemy aircraft fire. This time, the Bakhmut “angels” brought elderly people and a woman with a four-year-old daughter to a safe place.
Bakhmut district, in particular Siversk, is one of the hottest spots in Ukraine. Despite this, law enforcement officers continue to work here. Together with representatives of the Bakhmut District State Administration and the Seversky Military Administration, they organize the evacuation and bring humanitarian goods. Without this assistance, civilians in the combat zone will not survive.
Evacuees are delivered to Dnipro and Ivano-Frankivsk region. Now in the Seversky community there are about 2 thousand citizens. People leave because their homes are targets of the enemy and it is dangerous to stay in them.
“A rocket flew in, hit the house, and our neighbors were destroyed by an explosion wave. The cassettes beat so much that you can not stick your nose out. We rely on the Armed Forces that the enemy will not pass here any further,” says a local resident.
At the entrance to the city — burned civilian cars shot by the Russians. In one of them, a whole family with children died, trying to escape from the war. The occupiers hit the car from the tank.
Two of the most experienced and fearless drivers — police-driver Vitaly Korabelnikov and patrol police response officer Alexander Shilkov — help residents to safely overcome the road. According to locals, they are always ready to go even to hell for the sake of saving people.
So, in one of the evacuation flights, an enemy plane was just above the police car.
“We were following people, and suddenly a Russian plane comes in just over your head, just 25 meters above the ground. We realized that everything is the end of us. However, it turned out that he had just “fired” - he dropped rockets on the residential sector... We rushed to the place, because people needed urgent help there,” said the head of the Bakhmut regional police department Dmitry Prystupin.
