“Bucha is empty. Whoever is there is still hiding. He is still afraid. He cannot go away, leaving his sick relative or his cat. And he stays.” Andrii Darmenko, a volunteer of the Ukrainian Red Cross, engaged since mid-March in the aid and evacuation operations in Bucha, is the testimony to the Adnkronos that recalls his first aid to a civilian, an innocent victim of enemy fire “a few minutes before our I arrived. He was on the street and they shot him. We rescued him. ” What else have you found? “What we saw in the images released by the media, in March in a smaller form than after: when we returned after the Russian retreat on April 2 we found the catastrophe. I’m used to it, but for my comrades it was difficult “. Andrii Darmenko is part of a special body of the Red Cross, able to intervene for the evacuation of the occupied territories and in case of events such as bombings. “We evacuated 5,000 people in two days when Bucha was still busy, thanks to the buses provided by local services. In particular from the hospital and a home for the elderly. The situation was really critical. The population was underground, without water, food, electricity, heating. We brought refreshments, food, drink. And medicine for the wounded “, he says. “Even when we returned, after the exit of the occupying forces, the situation was terrifying, dangerous for mines everywhere. It was very difficult to be able to move around. We dedicated ourselves first of all to the recovery of the wounded. We found a man, in serious condition in a house destroyed for at least two or three days. We rescued him. Another had been poisoned, we do not know by what or how. But the living conditions were such that he could have eaten or drank anything “. We monitored people’s needs, brought food, medicines. And now we are intervening in the villages behind Bucha, where we have encountered strong needs “. (By Roberta Lanzara)
