Russian troops are holding 4,000 people hostage who want to leave for Zaporizhzhia (south of Ukraine).
“Russian soldiers continue to hold residents hostage at the checkpoint in Vasylivka. They allowed only 200 cars entry into the territory controlled by Ukraine in 2,5 weeks.”
Thousands of people who want to leave the Russian-occupied territories of the Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Luhansk and Donetsk regions remain in cars in the cold and without normal food. However, they are forced to return home in despair.
“People are desperate, days and nights in cars, in the cold, without normal food, with children, old parents are simply tired of waiting and turn to the occupied house in the hope that soon it will be possible to leave the hated “Russian peace,” concluded Ivan Fedorov.
