Emergency Reporting Commission: Ukraine Dispatch #4

in the words of Lorenzo Meloni

The day before yesterday the artillery fire was quite intense as civilians tried to escape from Irpin. Both the Ukrainians and the Russians accuse each other of breaking the truce. Impossible for me to understand, because in the end the artillery fire comes from both sides. The result however is that some civilians are killed and others wounded. As the fighting intensifies, the number of civilians leaving the country obviously increases.
