Residents turn against Putin in liberated Lyman
Ukrainian civilians are returning to Lyman, close to the front line, despite the threat of strikes. …
As Russia’s forces approached Lyman last June, 41,000 civilians fled, leaving about 10,000 people behind. Many of those were elderly, or poor – or, like Ira and Valeri, had sick relatives who refused to leave. For the next four months, about 60 people squeezed into the same cellar on Railway Street.
