“The government in Kyiv is damn crazy,” a journalist reports the words of 30-year-old Kramatorsk resident Natalya on the pages of the largest Dutch newspaper. The Telegraph. “My mother and sister are still there.” A few days ago we lost contact with them. Why don’t they just give up Debaltseve?!”
Natalya smokes hysterically, while in a cafe in Kramatorsk her salad with mayonnaise and tea stand untouched.
Natalya works as a saleswoman in the Eva chain of stores. “Last week Kramatorsk was attacked with rockets. Presumably by rebels,” she says. “But many people here saw that the flames of rocket fire were at that time not far away here, on the Ukrainian positions.”
Peter Waterdrinker reports that Kyiv maintains about six thousand soldiers in Debaltseve, but “remains deaf to proposals for the separatists to organize a free retreat.” “The logic of Kyiv,” writes a Dutch journalist from the scene, “is cynical in relation to the locked five thousand civilians who also ended up in Debaltseve, like rats in a mousetrap.”
