‘Orcs’ capture the land.

Three evacuation buses entered, but only one returned.
From the front line town of Popasna, in eastern Ukraine's Donbas.

‘Orcs’ everyday advance a little further.
Food supplies in Popasna are expected to run out within a week.

Playing a key role in helping to evacuate people.
But five volunteer drivers and staff are either missing or captured.

A local history teacher set off in a school bus for Popasna.
To bring out who had been sheltering for weeks in cellars.

His wife had begged him to stop. But “He's a stubborn man.”
“He said he wasn't afraid and that people needed help.”

‘Orcs’ capture the land.
‘Orcs’ capture, but he’ll be back to.
‘Orcs’ capture the land.

“I'm begging you very much, bring my dad back to us.
We feel terrible without him, we miss him.”

“Please give my daddy back to me."

"I feared the worst," said his wife.
But then he appeared on TV broadcast in ‘Mordor’.

‘Orcs’ capture the land.
‘Orcs’ capture, but he’ll be back to.
‘Orcs’ capture the land.
