“The city of Kyiv and many Ukrainian cities were destroyed. Lives were taken. This is the truth. These images are the truth of the Russian war against Ukraine. That is what it seems”, continues the former athlete, surrounded by Ukrainian soldiers.

In another of the films, it is shown how this area of ​​the city of the Ukrainian capital was left after the fall of the Russian missile, the destroyed buildings are observed, without windows.

The force of the explosion, during the morning of last Monday, shattered the glass of the windows, and claimed the lives of several Ukrainian civilians. “The explosion was so huge,” said Ragulina, in dialogue with the agency AP. “People were sleeping, shards of glass were flying and I was literally thrown into a wall. It’s a miracle no one was killed.”Held.

Russian forceswhose goal is to surround Kyiv, intensified their shelling of the Ukrainian capitalwhich had so far avoided destruction, unlike the cities of Mariupol or Kharkiv in the northeast.

Right now, Kyiv is preparing for a siege, after the four explosions it suffered yesterday morning, in residential neighborhood buildings and in a subway station. These detonations caused the death of two people.

These new attacks could prompt more people to make the decision to flee Ukraine. It is estimated that about half of the 3.5 million inhabitants of the Ukrainian capital have already left. Others, on the other hand, do not have the opportunity to do so.

“I can’t leave the country because my eldest son is 20 years old, and he is in the army. It is the reason why I am staying, with my husband, and with my other two children aged ten and three,” explained Olena Yavdoshchuk, 40, a clinic administrator.

In this context, kyiv became a ghost town. His streets are empty, there are military checkpoints everywhere and he lives in fear of an imminent assault by Russian forces.
