2:10 A resident of Donetsk:
1:42 Message from military correspondent with the call sign "Samur".
00:35 Message from locals:
Then, later, I turned my attention to the lights in the sky over the forest. At first I thought there were flare lights. But, since these lights were flashing at one point rather than flying by a trajectory, I realized that it was a volley of MLRS. Then there were some more such lights, I realized that they were just striking from several points. Volleys, I think, were conducted from the point between the villages Kapitanovo and Muratovo. Perhaps they shelled somewhere toward Tryokhizbyonka or Slavyanoserbsk.
Volleys themselves were not heard in Severodonetsk, it means they were far away. There were about 10 bursts, at least, not less. "

21:18 Report from Khryaschevatoye. Little Pripyat.
Tons of pain and tears. The elderly, children, basements, bomb shelters ... Children’s poems about the war. - Dunya, it is unbearable to read. I’m crying. I do not want. This is Khryaschevatoye.
Pictures cannot convey what the village became.
Burned, destroyed almost to the ground, wild and empty.
It seems you get into some fantastic post-apocalyptic future.
It is impossible to believe. This is the 21st century. Not Africa or the Middle East. Watch my video. Scan it carefully. Almost all the streets are the same. It has been no longer shelled since summer.
But people live in it. The elderly and the washy among them.
Who have nowhere to go. Nowhere to be helped from.
Some need diapers for care, someone - medicines.
There is no electricity in half of the village since summer. Many burn wood. Families are sitting in the same room – saving candles. "
