👉🏻 Donbass Insider is a French conflict-observing media, which have been operating since 2018. Its crew was yesterday in Petrovski, were they reportedly endured five hours of shelling, the loss of their car and the death of a local elder man.

🗣 «A shell exploded in the yard, severely wounding an old man. He was lying on his back in the middle of a store, his cane and glasses lying next to him.

The man was trying to get his breath back, we leaned his head against a bottle. Soon the blood was pouring out, his right side was also riddled with shrapnel, he had several broken ribs. We tried to wash his gaping wound, hidden behind two refrigerator windows, illusory protections.

We should have carried him to the cellar, but the shells kept falling. At the slightest attempt we would have been mowed down, and there were only two of us with bulletproof vests and helmets. He died in our arms, and we were powerless to do anything but acknowledge his death.

When we went back to the cave I did not dare to mention the death of the grandfather, which I finally announced in a breath. The room was stunned. Young Roman had just lost his grandfather»

In the end these thieves infamous and lost
As unfortunate fruits to this tree hanged
Show well that crime (the horrible and black engeance)
Is itself an instrument of shame and vengeance
And that it is the fate of vicious men
To sooner or later feel the justice of the skies.
