«Today is the worst day for Lyman. They started shelling at 4 am and still do not stop,» says the head of the local police, Ihor Uhnevenko.
hromadske journalists meet the police at the exit from the city.
In Lyman itself, 12 people gathered for evacuation. But the shelling doesn't stop. While we are waiting with the Lyman residents, three shells hit 200 meters away from us. We have to leave. People stay under fire.
After 10 minutes, the police officers decide to go and take the Lyman residents. That is how much time they have while the Russians are reloading Grad MLRS. While they are leaving, another shell falls 40 meters away from the people. Fortunately, everyone is alive.
People are being taken to Dnipro.
The head of the police stays in the city to look for his subordinates, there is no cell phone reception. Policeman Maksym Berezhnyi decides to go to Ozerne village beyond Liman, where the fighting is going on. There is a wounded boy.
On the road being shot through, the police get to the destroyed house and take out the wounded.
He is 21 years old, 8 shells hit the yard 5 days ago. Artem - that's his name - did not have time to hide.
He is wounded in the head, leg and chest.
His mom tried to call the rescuers, but then the phones went dead. She has now managed to call the police.
The police take the boy to a safe area, where an ambulance is waiting. Then it will take him to Sloviansk.
Artem's mother cries and hugs policeman Maksym. There are tears in Maksym's eyes.
«He survived, if they had not gone after him, he would have died by evening,» Maksym sends us an SMS the next day.
Around the same time, we learn that a Russian missile hit the road bridge between Raihorodok and Lyman, through which we all drove a dozen times and through which the wounded were evacuated.
