◀ Journalist ▶
Yes, Kieu, my capital, had a night without an air alert for a long time.
However, there were fierce battles on the southeast front, including in Donetsk and Donbass.
Video has been released of an emergency evacuation after a grenade fell behind a French journalist who was broadcasting live from Donbass.
Currently, the area where Ukraine and Russia are fighting most fiercely for pride is Eastern Donetsk Oblast.
In particular, every day they fight in the Bahmut area, which is the road to Donetsk, and it is said that an average of 3 to 400 people die every day.
Journalists met with Ukrainian soldiers working on Bahmut and listened to their stories.
Let’s listen first.

“It’s always hard, but we’re enduring it. It’s always scary, because it’s war. It’s completely different now than when I served as a soldier before (for four years). It’s literally a brutal war situation.”
This time the Russians suffered heavy losses.
Ukrainian forces attacked a Russian recruits headquarters in Donetsk, killing 63 people, Russia’s defense ministry said.
Ukrainian forces fired 6 US-made Himas missiles, Russia intercepted 2 missiles, but the remaining 4 destroyed the building of recruit quarters.
As a result of this attack, the building was shattered beyond recognition.
Ukrainian forces claim casualties of up to 400.
The damage is believed to be the greatest Russia has suffered since the outbreak of war.
Foreign media reported that the mobile phone data used by the Russian military was tracked and hacked.
The killed Russian soldiers were reportedly recruits recently recalled from Saratov and Samara provinces under a mobilization order issued last year.
