Our special correspondent filmed a city emptied of its population and where those who have chosen to stay consider themselves resistance fighters. Report. The city of Kramatorsk, in eastern Ukraine, has been emptied of three-quarters of its population since the start of the war at the end of February. Among the inhabitants still present, some are actively fighting against the Russians. This is particularly the case of the members of the association “Together until victory” who make camouflage outfits. “Who should I be afraid of? this dwarf (to qualify Vladimir Putin, Ed)? No, he never scared me. Thanks to my children, we have gas, electricity, a normal life. That’s why we have to help them . We must protect them with our camouflage. If it saves a single life, we will be happy,” Nadia Kalinchenko, a member of the association, told France 24. Others stayed because they had no nowhere to go. Still others prefer to remain optimistic and have faith in the Ukrainian resistance.
