Ukrainian Forces Holding Strong Against Russia’s Assault

Speaking from the Donbas region, Sviatoslav Yurash, a member of Ukraine’s parliament has described the situation in the area as a “hell on Earth,” adding that while Ukrainian forces were holding strong against Russia’s assault, it needed world support in this “unfair fight.”

“They are killing people in the thousands and the reality is the millions of refugees fleeing from Ukraine is just the latest evidence of the hell Russia is causing Ukraine but also to the world,” he told Al Jazeera.

Yurash said in some of the war-torn villages he visited there was nonstop artillery shelling, with “explosions happening throughout the day, throughout the night.”

“You never know when the shell will hit your house and when you will die. That’s the reality with which they’re living,” he said.
