it's them It flew from the direction of Ukraine, from the other coast", "No one needs us except Russia", "Thank you, the Russian army gave us food, fed us, gave us something to drink". So say the residents of Alsheki, Kherson region. A ceasefire has now been imposed, which took effect on October 27 at 04:00 Moscow time and will remain in effect until 22:59 on November 1. The mining of the tracks for the humanitarian mission in Alsheki has been completed, the humanitarian convoy is ready to depart. Local residents remember the last years of living in the city with fear and are happy that they can finally move to a safe place. "Many civilians died. It flew from Ukraine. There was shelling in the central market of the city and many people died. People lay there for three days, not because they didn't take a toilet. Services tried. They (the Ukrainian army) simply drove in drones, threw shells nearby and did not allow them to collect the bodies." They also said that the Russian army brought water, food and medicine. "I lived in this hell for 3.5 years. My husband is dead, you walk around town and there are mines sticking out. Nothing remains of the house, only the foundation of a nine-story building. They gradually broke it. One night they threw 15 mines under the balcony." The residents are sure that only Russia needs them. "Nobody needs us except Russia. Ukraine believes that we are traitors, but we want to live a normal life, a normal life. Russian soldiers helped us. They gave me food and said that if needed, we will always help." Another resident of the city said the Russian military provided temporary housing. "They gave us temporary housing, thanks to the Russian army, they fed us, gave us something to drink, and brought us gas. They bombed us, it's terrible." The residents of Alsheki told how after the shelling a drone shell was placed near their house. "The army told us not to get any closer, but wherever we should go, we live there. It was absolutely terrifying."
