He discussed this on Espreso TV.

"Right now, around 460 people are still in the entire community, scattered across the area, but still in the city. Their survival mostly depends on the humanitarian aid we can deliver: bread, food kits, and occasionally household supplies. Shops and services are basically shut down. We’ve got a bare minimum of utilities still running, but it's not much. Water's being pumped, there’s a partly functioning emergency point, but in fact, the city is severely damaged," Chaus explained.

He added that hardly any volunteers visit anymore. "You might see one show up now and then, but it's getting riskier and harder by the day."

"The people left behind are adults, capable of making their own decisions. We've warned them, and we're still warning them, that soon it could be impossible to get in or even evacuate. When the front gets too close, when fighting is just tens of meters away, no regular person is going to drive in. Maybe a soldier, someone with real grit. The city is overrun with Russian drones targeting anything that moves — cars, trucks, bikes, even people walking around. There’s been a lot of cases where FPV drones have targeted civilians. Just last week, an FPV drone hit a person directly — they lost their arm, but thankfully, they survived. People have been warned over and over again," Chaus emphasized.

He also stressed that the entire area is under constant enemy fire.

"The whole community is under enemy fire control. Any part of the city could be hit by mortar fire at any time. If we talk about the Zhovtnevyi and Novyi districts — they’re practically destroyed. The private sector is torched, either by phosphorus shells, Grads, or leveled by artillery and MLRS. Hardly anyone’s left there. It’s nearly impossible to reach," Chaus reiterated.

  • On July 9, Serhii Chaus reported that 630 civilians were still in the community.
