Live from evacuation camp near the Matveev Kurgan in Russia

live from an evacuation camp near the Matveev Kurgan in the northwest of Rostov-on-Don, Russia on Wednesday, February 23. Last week, an emergency evacuation of the civilians to Russia was announced by the heads of LPN and the DPN to avoid their getting caught in the crossfire if fighting continues to break out. The OSCE has confirmed numerous breaches of the ceasefire in recent days. On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed documents recognising the independence of the two breakaway republics in Ukraine’s Donbass region.
