Due to constant shelling and the threat of airstrikes, the police had to hide their patrol car and travel on foot. All around were destroyed houses and shell craters.
To find the right apartment, the “White Angels” walked around the area and asked the few neighbors who still remained in the city.
“It was so scary here—drones were flying constantly. And at night, a KAB missile struck—just 40 meters from the house. There was a massive explosion; everything came crashing down, and the windows and doors were blown out. I was in bed at the time, and glass cut my legs,” says a resident of the private housing sector.
Despite all the obstacles, the police reached the specified address and evacuated 77-year-old Lyudmila Ivanivna. The elderly woman painfully recalls the last few weeks of her life under constant fire:
“Life was very hard. First, two windows were blown out, then a shell hit the garden—and it destroyed absolutely everything. There were constant explosions all around, and the house shook nonstop.”
The woman has now been taken to a safer place, where she is receiving all necessary assistance.
Evacuations from Druzhkivka are continuing nonstop.
