In one destroyed town in southern Ukraine, a handful of residents remain despite evacuation recommendations, including a deputy mayor nicknamed the 'Angel of Orikhiv.'
, the town of Orikihiv stands out as much for the regular pounding it endures as the stamina, suffering and resistance of those who remain.
Instead, she has turned the basement of the city hall into an aid centre, offering food and shelter to all who come, in the process earning the nickname the Unbreakable Angel of Orikhiv. Fourteen thousand people lived in Orikhiv before the Russians invaded Ukraine. Now, maybe 1,200 are left. Those still in the town tend to be the old and the poor, clinging to lives that no longer exist, and refusing or unable to leave.
Another resident named Svitlana told CTV National News that she struggles with fear and loneliness. She’s 73 years old, and while she tells her children that they’re going to get through this, she’s worried deep down that she won’t see the rest of her family again.He said he has survived the shelling multiple times by riding his bike through it.
