Corridors Of Death
By:Giorgio Provinciali
Live from Ukraine ????????
Cherkaske, Donetsk The number of Russian bombs and drones continuing to rain down on this part of Donbas is terrifying. Shortly before this article was sent for publishing, a Ukrainian civilian died in Kramatorsk and another in Druzhkivka. Two more died yesterday, and others were seriously injured in Kramatorsk, Riznikivka (the community of Siversk in Bakhmut District), Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka, and Sloviansk.On average, about three hundred adults and fifty children are evacuated from these areas of Donetsk every day, but the Russian Armed Forces are impeding even these already extremely difficult operations by now targeting civilian vehicles with the same high-explosive drones they previously used against military vehicles.
In the Pokrovsk District, the communities of Dobropillia and Shakhivka have suffered extensive destruction. Yesterday, a civilian died there as well, including in Oleksandrivka. Having traveled almost daily for months along the anti-drone corridors connecting those (now former) cities and dozens of other small settlements in Donbas, weve noted that the trips are increasingly dangerous becausethe fishnets installed above the road surface are often damaged. Russian drone operators are deliberately using multirotor kamikaze UAVs to attack those fences, clearing gaps with their sharp blades. On the stretches closest to Kostiantynivka, theyre now dropping white phosphorus with other drones, as wevedocumentedin the Korabel neighborhood of Kherson. This makes repair efforts even more difficult, as it is clear that even the metal cages are insufficient to protect Ukrainian workers.
In avideowe posted to this La Ragiones YouTube channel in the past few hours, we showed gashes, some 2030 meters long, along a stretch of road that is extremely critical for supplying Kramatorsk, Druzhkivka, Kostiantynivka, and their satellite settlements.
When we arrived in Cherkaske, the wreckage of a civilian vehicle was burning in the center of town, and the gas station where we usually stop to refuel urged us to move away because Russian drones had twice in one day attempted to blow up the station. In another clip, which we will upload in the next few hours, you can see Russian drones burning as they crash just meters from the kiosks where people usually stop for a hot drink before heading to nearbySloviansk, the vortex of events.
In the opposite direction, yesterday we saw fire engines and ambulances riddled with bullets speeding by, a sight we had rarely seen before. At 5 a.m. on Wednesday, the Russian Air Force dropped a one-and-a-half-ton glide bomb directly on Sloviansk, hitting a childrens sports facility and severely damaging the civilian buildings from which we had recorded other, to say the least, heartbreaking images just a few days earlier. In these cases,the firefighters work far exceeds the call of duty and borders on devotion, because the Russians often target them with deadly double-taps.
The occupiers launch drones and incendiary bombs against civilian targets in the heart of the city, drawing first responders who rush to quell an inferno of flames and circling munitions to save as many lives as possible, only to kill them too with more drones.Throwing oneself into a desperate battle against the fire, in those conditions, means offering ones life as the highest expression of duty.
With three-meter, 1,500-kg laser-guided bombs that generate a shock wave and overpressure that render any shielding surface ineffective,the Russians are demolishing the minimal conditions that still allow survival, movement, evacuation, rescue, and resupply. They are attempting to sever continuity among cities, suburbs, services, hospitals, refueling points, vehicles, and emergency teams,invalidating the entire protected segment of the road corridor.
They are well aware that passive anti-drone defenses are no longer mere logistical details but vital infrastructure. Therefore, they are seeking to compromise their structural integrity while simultaneously conducting deep structural demolition in cities like Kramatorsk and Sloviansk and, due to asymmetric demographic attrition, in their satellite settlements.
We will continue to document life beneath those fences on video becauseit is precisely in the minor nodes of normality that develop along the exposed arteries of Donbas that the Moscow regime is attempting to strip civilians of even the illusion of a residual routine. The distinction between civilian and military targets is being deliberately eroded to use the very population Putin has claimed for years he wanted to save as bait for expulsion. So much so thateven saving a life here is already an act of resistance.
In 1.515 days of war,we recorded over 250 videos from ground zero and wrote more than 1,500 articles.
We are doing our best to provide genuine, first-hand reports from zones where almost no press dares to go. This means living in a kill zone constantly. We take the risk, but without your invaluable support, our voices would remain unheard and silent. Without brave people sharing our articles from afar, they would remain unread. Our reports would go unseen, and our efforts would be lost. Theres still a lot of work to do here, as the people around us are also in no better situation.
Were renewing ourfundraising campaignand thanking everyone who joins us in helping to restore what Russia is destroying. Moving forward with only a small reimbursement for each article from a brave newspaper that believes in us is extremely challenging. Thats why we are grateful to all the kind people who support us and trust in our mission.
Even a small donation helps.
Well keep you updated on developments.
Thank you all, dear friends ????????

乌克兰前线报道????????
切尔卡斯克，顿涅茨克持续轰炸顿巴斯这一带的俄罗斯炸弹和无人机数量令人恐惧。在本文送交发表前不久，克拉马托尔斯克一名乌克兰平民遇难，另一人在德鲁日基夫卡丧生。昨天又有两人死亡，另有多人在克拉马托尔斯克、里兹尼基夫卡（巴赫穆特区锡维尔斯克社区）、奧列克西耶沃-德鲁日基夫卡和斯洛维扬斯克重伤。平均每天约有三百名成年人和五十名儿童从顿涅茨克这些地区撤离，但俄罗斯武装部队现在甚至用以前攻击军用车辆的高爆无人机直接攻击民用车辆，阻碍了本已极其艰难的撤离行动。

在波克罗夫斯克区，多布罗皮利亚和沙希夫卡社区遭受严重破坏。昨天当地包括奥列克桑德里夫卡那儿也有平民遇难。数月来我们几乎每天沿着连接这些（现已不复存在的）城市和顿巴斯数十个小定居点的反无人机走廊行驶，观察到行程愈发危险，因为覆盖路面的防无人机网常被破坏。俄罗斯无人机操作者故意用多旋翼自杀型无人机攻击那些防护网，用锋利的旋翼刀片撕开缺口。在靠近科斯蒂安丁尼夫卡的路段，他们现在还用其他无人机投撒白磷，正如我们在赫尔松科拉贝尔社区所记录的那样。这使得修复工作更加困难，显然即便是金属笼也不足以保护乌克兰维修人员。

在我们几小时前发布到La RagioneYouTube频道的一个视频中，展示了一段对克拉马托尔斯克、德鲁日基夫卡、科斯蒂安丁尼夫卡及其卫星定居点极为关键的路段上长达2030米的巨大破口。

我们抵达切尔卡斯克时，一辆民用车的残骸在镇中心燃烧，我们常去加油的那个加油站催促我们离开，因为俄罗斯无人机当天曾两次试图炸毁该加油站。在另一段我们将在数小时内上传的片段中，你可以看到俄罗斯无人机在离Kiosks售货亭数米处坠毁并燃烧，人们常在去附近斯洛维扬斯克这场漩涡般事件的中心前停下来在那里买一杯热饮。

在相反方向，昨天我们看到遍布弹孔的消防车和救护车飞驰而过，这样的景象我们此前很少见到。周三凌晨5点，俄空军向斯洛维扬斯克直接投下一枚一吨半的滑翔炸弹，击中一处儿童体育设施，并严重损坏了周边民用建筑而就在几天前，我们曾在那里拍摄了令人心碎的影像。在这些情况下，消防员们的工作远超职责，近乎奉献，因为俄军常针对他们实施致命的二次打击。
侵略者向市中心的民用目标发射无人机和燃烧弹，引发熊熊烈火，诱使第一时间赶来灭火和救援的人员冲入由火焰和盘旋弹药构成的地狱，只为尽可能多地拯救生命；而随后，俄军又用更多无人机将这些救援者杀害。在那样的条件下投身灭火，无异于以生命作为职责的最高体现。

俄罗斯人用三米长、重达1,500公斤的激光制导炸弹制造的冲击波和超压，使任何遮蔽物形同无效，他们正在摧毁勉强维持生存、行动、撤离、救援和补给的最基本条件。俄军企图切断城市、郊区、服务机构、医院、加油点、车辆和应急队伍之间的连续性，使整段受保护的道路走廊失效。
他们十分清楚，被动式反无人机防御已不再是单纯的后勤细节，而是重要的基础设施。因此，他们一边试图破坏这些设施的结构完整性，一边在克拉马托尔斯克、斯洛维扬斯克等城市进行深度结构性破坏，并通过不对称的人口消耗影响其卫星定居点。

我们将继续用视频记录这些遮篷下的生活，因为恰恰是在顿巴斯这些暴露的交通干道上，形成的这些微不足道的日常小节点中，莫斯科政权正试图剥夺平民哪怕一丝残存的日常幻象。平民与军事目标之间的界限正在被故意抹除，企图把普京多年来自称要拯救的那部分人口当作诱饵驱逐出去。以至于在这里，拯救一条生命本身已成为一种抵抗行为。
（图：一年前的今天，我们深爱的维塔利克在保卫乌克兰和自由世界的战斗中牺牲。一架俄罗斯无人机击中了他。同一天，我们最亲爱的朋友的儿子另一位乌克兰英雄在斯洛维扬斯克附近遭遇同样的命运牺牲。荣耀属于乌克兰。荣耀属于英雄。英雄永生????????????版权所有，Giorgio Provinciali）

在1515天的战争中，我们从前线录制了250多段视频，并撰写了1500多篇文章。
我们尽最大努力从几乎没有媒体敢进入的地带进行真实的一手报道，这意味着我们长期生活在杀伤区。我们承担风险，但若没有你们宝贵的支持，我们的声音将无从传出。若没有远方的勇敢的人们转发分享我们的文章，它们将无人问津。我们的报道会被忽视，我们的努力将付诸流水。这里还有大量工作要做，周围的人们境况同样艰难。
我们正在更新筹款活动，感谢每一位加入我们、帮助修复俄罗斯破坏的人们。仅靠一家勇敢的报纸为我们每篇文章支付微薄稿酬以维持前线报道极为困难。因此，我们感激所有支持并信任我们使命的善良人们。
哪怕是小小的捐助也有助益。
我们会持续为你们更新事态进展。
谢谢大家，亲爱的朋友们????????
如果你认可我们的工作，请支持我们????????
