Sky correspondent John Sparks has been visiting a neighbourhood in Bakhmut, that, like many others in Ukraine, has been intensively shelled by the Russians.
I dived for cover behind a brick wall while my colleague, Ronnie Dewhurst, filmed the ambulance crew.
In his footage, we see the paramedics pausing briefly as the strike closed in, spreading themselves out on the ground. But they did not leave the injured woman - and they soon returned to her side. Seeking safety from the attacks, we exited the scene, but returned to the city's modest-looking ambulance station later in the day.We found one of the attendants, called Vlad, who had treated the woman, and he told us that Rimma was in a bad way."What did you see, what did you hear?" I asked.
"Explosions, although I was concentrating on the woman. I started to bandage her, and the explosions started, and everyone took cover, but fortunately I had time to start bandaging and I finished it in the car," Vlad replied."I gave her painkillers, we did everything we could to tell the truth, despite the shelling.""If not me, who? It's very simple, someone needs to do it," he replied.
This city has been broken, sliced and pummelled in less than a month of ferocious fighting. Residential blocks have been punctured by artillery shells and the streets have been pockmarked by missile craters.Related Topics
