A shell crater on a street in Rubizhne, Luhansk People's RepublicSTAROBELSK, Apr 2Refugees from Rubizhne got out of the city under shelling by artillery and bullets, literally «crawling», and some were not allowed «to the separatists» by Ukrainian troops, the residents of Rubizhne themselves, stationed in schools in the city of Starobelsk, told the agency's correspondent about this. They said that many people, including old people and children, are still hiding in the cellars of schools in the city. body armor and helmets. The sounds of artillery are not heard here, but new refugees are brought to the camps daily from Rubizhne and other cities where fighting is taking place, and the wounded are brought to the local hospital every day. Here they are provided with food and water, as well as a bed — but some complain about the conditions of detention. Some of them even managed to take their animals with them. The woman has been a “book lover” all her life, but she couldn’t pick up her books from Rubizhne, where the fighting is going on. She is interrupted by a man with tea, also elderly, also in blue — a shirt and jeans: “They are shooting at residential buildings.” good, they left her. How she didn’t want to stay. There was a dog. She came up to me, looks, as if saying: we want to eat, «the woman complains again. And she herself did not eat bread for two weeks. When asked about who is shooting at the houses, he says that he does not know — the shells are flying from both sides. «Dill, who is shooting …», the man with tea intervenes again. “The Russians don’t shoot at houses,” he says. They took the woman out in a truck: volunteers helped. “Tell me how we live there in Moscow,” asks a grandmother in a red sweater from Rubizhnoye, sitting on a mattress in the gym. According to her, there are many residents of Rubizhnoye in Moscow, they went there to work. Let them find out how they live in Rubezhnoye. «I live in the Ninth (microdistrict — ed.). It seems that everything flew past, people relaxed. They came out and stood near the entrance. And right next to the entrance a mine exploded. Four people were killed, two were injured. One was walking with water, and right next to the entrance it was killed,» the grandmother said. Her son was wounded during this «arrival», he is in the hospital in Starobilsk. As her daughter, the sister of the victim, later told, Chechen special forces soldiers took him out. It all happened about 4 days ago. They came to Starobelsk just to look for their son — indeed, fighters from Chechnya brought him to the city. He, according to her, lay and bled for four hours, until help arrived. » she asks.

Because they are not Germans It was difficult for many residents to get out of Rubizhne, including because of the opposition of the Ukrainian troops: they say there is nothing to do «at the separatists.» This is also evidenced by a woman in a flowery sundress of about 30 years old, who arrived at the refugee camp at school with an old mother and a child. She begins her story with how she got out of the city engulfed in battles with her mother and son. she says. The Ukrainian military came to them — they said «Welcome to the refugee camp», after which they retreated. Although, the woman notes, on Saturday (she arrived in the afternoon) humanitarian aid arrived in the morning. Intense fighting, she clarifies, began about 2 weeks ago. They got out with difficulty: a “random person” came to the school, said that he was going to the center and was ready to take people out. And the woman lives in the area where the front line passes. “We just got into the car and drove off. One Ukrainian checkpoint didn’t let us through, they said, there’s nothing for you to do in Rubizhnoye. They didn’t let us through, they shot in front of us. we will shoot you … at point-blank range. They said: there is no need to go to the separatists,» she says. In the end, they made their way around. We literally «crawled,» she adds. In the city, according to her, there are still many people left, most are sitting in basements — many die right there, but not from shelling, but from strokes and other diseases. «Now the window slammed, «We're already crouching. We've learned to calculate, the anti-aircraft gun fired, how many minutes we have to run to the basement. We have children running on a schedule. We know when the retaliatory strike will arrive,» she adds.
Captured Ukrainian Nazis have a lot to say Many refugees, although they generally say that they were well accommodated in Starobelsk, ask «to tell me up there» about their requests. This is evidenced by a bald man of about 50, lying on a mattress in the gym of another school. He lived all his life in Rubizhne — a «working man», worked all his life and got used to work. He told a RIA correspondent that he was shell-shocked — this is noticeable, he periodically asks questions again. there are many fighters from Chechnya in Rubizhne: they treat civilians well. «There are many Chechens. If it weren't for them … They fed, gave their rations. the fact that, according to him, they hide behind the backs of civilians. «When my uncle told me, when the Germans arrived, when there was a war, hostilities begin — cars come, they remove the civilian population, they take it out. And here they hide behind our backs «, — he says. True, sometimes they provided assistance — when there was an «arrival» in the kindergarten, where the man was shell-shocked, Ukrainians arrived and helped. «They hate us. Because I don't like Bandera. I like to work, not travel trade in the west. And I don't believe in his Bandera. But I believe in L Enina, I believe in a normal life. We are hard workers, we are Donbass,» he says more emotionally. «They», he says, do not like it — «they» want him to believe in what they believe.
