Ukrainians take stock of what remains of their village after Russian forces retreat
[France 24] Russian forces are being pushed back to the east and north but the front line remains fluid, with the fight shifting from village to village, day by day. FRANCE 24 reporters spoke to some of the civilians who remained in Dokuchaievske, Kharkiv Oblast, during the Russian occupation.Russian troops have moved on from this village, but an unexploded cluster bomb remains as evidence of the battles fought here. It is a weapon widely banned around the world. Although the fighting in Dokuchaievske was fierce, dozens of civilians from villages further south have taken refuge here. Opposite Slava’s house there is now a shallow grave, where a soldier from Russia’s Siberia region was buried by Ukrainian locals and now lies in rest, some 4,000 kilometres from home.
