No one was allowed to go out until March 8 or 9. We were allowed to boil water in the street fires because there was no electricity or water. It was the same day that reports of corpses of civilians began to appear on the streets. To evacuate, people had to pass the Russian checkpoint – to reach the Ukrainian. I do not know how many people managed to pass the checkpoint. you should count the corpses. I did not see anyone being shot. Those lying on Yablonskaya died as a result of accidental gunfire. Those who left Yablonskaya said it was hell. Panic prevailed. At one point, Russian soldiers gave their dry rations to people in a basement and then threw a grenade into the basement. That happened. I have no information about victims from this story. During one of their “cleaning operations”, they were afraid to go to a dark basement in an apartment complex, so they threw a grenade, just in case. By pure luck, no one died.
