Ukrainian Civilians Face Grim Choice As Evacuation Is Mandated In Donetsk Region [1]

['Rfe Rl']

Date: 2022-08

Nina Grandova’s third-floor apartment in Kramatorsk was damaged by Russian shelling in July, and her disabled husband, Yuriy, has been living in the building’s basement since the Russian invasion began on February 24.

“I have nowhere to go. I have to take care of my husband,” she said. “What will happen will happen.”
