Evacuation from the city and the delivery of humanitarian aid, there are extremely difficult, as the enemy continues shelling.

"Unfortunately, more than 2,800 people are currently in Kostiantynivka. A few months ago, there were about 5,000. More than half have left. But the people who remain in the city now cannot be reached by us, unfortunately. Only thanks to our defenders are we able to deliver food packages and drinking water to them," Filashkin said.

Situation in the city
