Early on Friday, Ukraine said it had recaptured the village of Ruska Lozova, population 5,000, after two months of what one resident called a period of “terrible fear.” The village had been without electricity and water, and some residents said they had spent weeks in cellars while Russia bombed the area. They also said the Russians had forced some Ukrainians to leave and cross into Russian territory.
Villagers were seen embracing Ukrainian soldiers after the siege ended. “We had two nights which were scary as hell … we thought the sky was burning, the whole village was burning,” Svitlana Perepilitsa, 23, told Agence France-Presse.
