In Sloviansk, the Russians Hunt the People Who Are Trying to Leave
By:Giorgio Provinciali
Live from Ukraine ????????
Sloviansk Russian bombs and drones continue to rain down on the Ukrainian Donbas. Most of the latter aretargeting fleeing civilians, preventing their evacuation.
Yesterday morning in Sloviansk, a targeted Russian attack on the town damaged twenty buildings, injured three civilians, and destroyed as many cars. In nearby Mykolaivka, occupiers targeted three apartment buildings, a single-family home, five administrative buildings, and a power pylon, reducing them to rubble. In Bilenke a small hamlet in the Kramatorsk district where wewitnessedthe extent of Russian terror stalking locals10 months ago two civilians were seriously injured while trying to escape the rubble of their homes. Further south, in Druzhkivka, the Russian army hindered the evacuation of more civilians, brutally injuring four. Along the same route, other people were struck by a swarm of Russian drones while fleeing their homes in Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka and Osykove. Still others were struck in the central part of the Novodonetsk district.
With enormous difficulty and often serious injuries to themselves, as well as damage to their vehicles, the Ukrainian evacuees managed to save a total of 370 people, 72 of whom were children.
This was, however, only the latest entry in a twelve-year series, in which the Russian occupiers targeted another 396 fleeing Ukrainian civilians (47 of whom were children) the day before yesterday, 447 (36 children) the day before that, and so on. All official datareleasedby the Donetsk Administration.
Suffice it to say thatin the last four years alone, not counting the bloodbaths in Mariupol and Volnovakha, the Moscow regime has killed 4,025 Ukrainian civilians and injured 9,291 in this part of Donbas.
Almost certainly, most were Russian-speakers. These statistics have beenrecordeddaily by local authorities since February 24, 2022, when Putindeclaredthe inevitability of a special military operation tosavethese people.
Yesterday,the Russian army continued to harass fleeing buses and cars, injuring more Ukrainian civilians, even in remote areaslike Cherkasky. The clips we will make available on La Ragiones YouTubechannelin the next few hours (some are alreadyonline) require no further explanation.
As in much of the rest of the country,its snowing here in Donetsk, even though its late April. Not far from Sloviansk, when we stopped, exhausted, to warm ourselves with a hot drink, the drone detectors began to blare. Soon, the air-raid warning also began to echo: some of the quadcopters flying over our positions were reconnaissance aircraft, while others were certainly carrying sniper munitions. Various Russian UAVs with high-explosive potential began to make themselves heard in the distance.
Ukrainian anti-aircraft fire has legendary effectiveness, recognized worldwide, not least in the Middle East, in shooting them down. However, this does not rule out the possibility of a fatal event for anyone caught in the path of a flock of those vectors of death. So much so that some fiery lapilli set a clearing not far from us on fire. To smother the flames, the Ukrainian soldiers who arrived even used their own jackets. Once the fire was extinguished, we gave them ours so they wouldnt be left in the freezing cold.Stopping your car, even for quick operations, can be fatal in these parts these days. In fact, the radars started ringing again every time someone stopped to help us.
As with every other occasion when the bloodthirsty regime in Moscow has granted a ceasefire, the so-called Easter truce fits precisely into this context and poses the risk of further widespread attacks across Ukraine, for which local authorities have already been warned.
After a long series of massacres of innocents caused by Russian bombs in Ukraine over the previous 24 hours, on Thursday we concluded adispatchfrom Nikopol on these pages,notingthat accordingto datapublishedthe day before by LSEG Russian gas imports to the EU increased by 17% in the last quarter compared to the previous year, reaching 4.8 million tons. Before us was a Ukrainian bus gutted by a Russian drone, pieces of human flesh strewn across the asphalt, and a pool of blood so large it spilled onto the sidewalks on both sides of the road.
Shortly before our latest from Sloviansk, our colleagues at the Financial Timesremindedus that97% of all goods coming from the Russian hub of Yamal [one of the largest and most strategic gas production and liquefaction facilities in the world] are destined for European Union ports, clearing two possible reasons: Irans control of the Strait of Hormuz, stemming from theIsraeli-American attacks which, in response, damaged the infrastructure through which LNG supplies from Qatar flow andsanctions that have made it more difficult to redirect Russian goods to Asia, effectively making the European market the only available destination.
Its not haze thats clouding our vision.
In 1.508 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 ????????
在斯洛维扬斯克，俄罗斯人猎杀试图离开的人们

乌克兰前线报道????????
斯洛维扬斯克俄罗斯的炸弹和无人机继续倾泻在乌克兰顿巴斯地区。无人机多数瞄准攻击逃离的平民，阻止他们撤离。

昨天早晨，俄罗斯对斯洛维扬斯克发动了一起有针对性的袭击，造成城内二十栋建筑受损，三名平民受伤，多辆汽车被毁。在附近的米科拉伊夫卡，俄占领军袭击了三栋公寓楼、一座独栋住宅、五幢行政建筑和一根输电塔，将它们夷为废墟。在比连克克拉马托尔斯克区的一个小村庄，十个月前我们曾在那儿亲眼目睹俄罗斯恐怖对当地人的蹂躏两名平民在试图从他们房屋的废墟中逃生时严重受伤。再往南，在德鲁日基夫卡，更多平民被俄军阻断了撤离，残忍致伤了四人。同一方向上，在奥列克西耶沃-德鲁日基夫卡和奥西科维另有一些人在逃离家园时遭到一群俄罗斯无人机袭击。还有人在新顿涅茨克区中部被击中。

尽管遭受巨大困难，且常身受重伤，车辆也遭受破坏，但乌克兰撤离人员仍设法救出了370人，其中72名是儿童。
然而，这仅是过去十二年连续事件中的最新一项：俄占领军仅在前天就瞄准袭击了396名逃难中的乌克兰平民，其中47名为儿童；再前一天为447人（36名儿童）；如此等等。以上全为顿涅茨克州当局发布的官方数据。
仅在过去四年里，不包括马里乌波尔和沃尔诺瓦卡的大屠杀，莫斯科政权就在顿巴斯这一地区就已经杀害了4,025名乌克兰平民、致伤9,291人。

几乎可以肯定的是，大多数受害者为俄语使用者。自2022年2月24日普京宣布进行所谓特别军事行动以拯救这些人以来，当地当局每天都在记录这些统计数据。
昨天，俄军继续骚扰撤离的公交车和汽车，造成更多乌克兰平民受伤，即使是切尔卡斯基等偏远地区也未能幸免。我们将在未来几小时内把相关片段上传到La Ragione的YouTube频道（其中一些已在线），无需再做任何解释。

如同这个国家其他许多地区一样，顿涅茨克此刻正在下雪，尽管已是四月下旬。离斯洛维扬斯克不远处，我们因疲惫停下用热饮取暖时，无人机探测器开始报警。不久，防空警报也随之响起：一些在我们阵地上空盘旋的四轴无人机是侦察器，另一些则无疑携带狙击弹药。多架具备高爆潜力的俄罗斯无人机从远处传来轰鸣声。

乌克兰的防空火力在击落这些无人机方面的成效已成传奇，获得全球认可，其中包括中东。然而，这并不排除有人落入这些成群的死亡载体飞行路径时遭遇致命事件的可能性。以至于有些炽热的碎片点燃了离我们不远的一处空地。赶来灭火的乌克兰士兵甚至用自己的夹克扑灭火焰。火被扑灭后，我们把自己的夹克交给他们，以免他们在严寒中受冻。如今在这片地区，即便为了快速行动短暂停车也可能致命。事实上，每当有人停下帮我们时，雷达就会再次响起。

正如莫斯科那个嗜血政权以往每次宣布停火时的情况一样，所谓的复活节休战恰好落入这种背景，给乌克兰全境带来进一步大规模攻击的风险，当地当局已对此发出警告。

在过去24小时内俄罗斯炸弹在乌克兰造成了一系列对无辜者的大屠杀。周四，我们在此版面完成了自尼科波尔的一篇报道，并指出根据伦敦证券交易所集团前一天公布的数据与去年同期相比，俄罗斯对欧盟的天然气进口在上个季度增长了17%，达到480万吨。我们面前是一辆被俄罗斯无人机烧毁的乌克兰公交车，沥青路面上散落着人体残骸，血迹多到溢到道路两侧的人行道上。
在我们发自斯洛维扬斯克的报道发布前不久，《金融时报》的同事提醒我们：来自俄罗斯亚马尔枢纽世界上最大且最有战略意义的天然气生产和液化设施之一的所有货物中有97%运往欧盟港口，并解释了两个可能原因：受以色列美国袭击的影响，伊朗控制了霍尔木兹海峡，这些袭击也损坏了通过卡塔尔输送液化天然气的基础设施；其二，制裁使得将俄罗斯货物转向亚洲变得更加困难，从而实际上使欧洲市场成为唯一可达的目的地。
遮蔽我们视线的不是雾霾。

在1500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????????
