The driver, a volunteer, and the police only have an hour to get in and out of Lyman, a town on the eastern front of Ukraine now almost surrounded by Russian troops, in their armored minibus. “I’m going to drive very very fast, it’s scary. They are bombing so much, including on us, it falls from everywhere”, warns the young man before taking, concentrated, the road through a forest. The operation, which consists in depositing 150 kg of bread to help the last civilians on place to hold the siege, then to leave with those who finally agree to leave, is not coordinated with the enemy troops. In the ghost town, the minibus, the only vehicle visible around, rolls along amid whistles announcing the explosions several times a minute. shouts a policeman to the passengers. The shell, which fell on the sidewalk, sends its shards against the vehicle, leaving a small hole in one of the supposedly reinforced windows. “Yes, we will arrive in two minutes”, announces to a family, by a voice note, Igor Ougnevenko, the local police chief who participates with more and more weariness in these humanitarian shuttles, considering that “those who remain are just crazy”.
