– Gramadorsk is preparing for the “big war” of the Donbass
Residents are fleeing the city east of the country where more than 50 civilians were killed in a Russian attack on Friday. The Ukrainian army expects a major offensive.

From a distance, under the pale April sun, the view looks good in nature. Sweepers wash the sidewalk with plenty of water, a cleaning truck, and its brushes scratch the road. Looks like a day after the market. Except for the death that shopped Friday in Gramadorsk, it absurdly killed at least fifty-seven lives. All civilians, innocent. The city of Donbass is even more shocked since the attack on the Russian missile station.
When one approaches, those places reveal tragic details. Suitcases, baby bags and a stroller are neatly arranged in one corner of the hall. Never-ending luggage. A khaki canvas stretcher dropped against a wall. Here and there bloodstains mixed with water and soap are strewn on the fake marble. Alkaline odor everywhere. The director of the station Lyubov Vladimirovna can not say. She laments that these bodies were mutilated, decapitated or lost a member.
