Hennadiy Yudin explains the emotional challenge of evacuation, stating, "Leaving one's own house is really hard. The fear of having to go to a different city can sometimes be greater than the fear of death." His perspective highlights the profound psychological impact of displacement on people living in conflict zones.
As Yudin points out, the situation in Myrnohrad is dire: "The Russian military is getting closer and closer to Myrnohrad and the frontline is now less than 10 kilometers from the city." This emphasizes the urgency of the evacuation efforts as danger looms nearer.
Yudin shares the struggles of convincing residents to leave their homes, reflecting on personal experience: "I had to leave my hometown, Avdiivka, so I know how hard it is for people to give up their homes... there’s neither a functioning hospital there anymore nor any ambulance service." This underlines the challenges faced by evacuees.
The dwindling population in Myrnohrad reveals a stark reality: "the city's population has dropped from around 47,000 to less than 2,000, according to local authorities." This statistic illustrates the impact of ongoing conflict on community life.
