"We do not take the dead": New York under the attack of the Russians - hromadske

In the village of New York, near Toretsk, local residents are hastily packing their things and leaving their homes. Russians managed to break through the Ukrainian defense line near Toretsk and are trying to develop an offensive. Neighboring New York was also under attack. Volunteers, police and rescuers are hastily taking out the locals. They don't have time for the dead.

"In one day, a grandmother and a grandson [died]," says Oleksiy, a resident of New York in Donetsk region.
He shows the charred high-rise destroyed on June 28. Probably by air bomb. Under the house lies the body of a woman who died during that attack, covered with a blanket. A few hours later, another blow killed her grandson, Dmytro, when he was returning to his house.

"I didn't have time to save him, one of his legs was torn off. "Ambulance came, they said: "We don't take the dead," Oleksiy says.

There are explosions in the background all the time. Russians are relentlessly shelling the small village in the Donetsk region.
