Pervomaysk, loud explosions of destroying (VIDEO)

A Journalist of Novorossia Today David Hudziec talked to advisor of the city Head of Pervomaysk Aleksandr Trohin.

-Tell who are you, your position.

I was born here; I did not leave the city. I arranged a referendum on 11^th May 2014, and was the head at the referendum. Thirty eight sectors took part in the referendum, you know the voters turnout, and it was 90%. It was incredible turnout. People believed that that their word would have a meaning. Ex-mayors of our city said that it had not been such a turnout before. People went to give vote consciously.

-How did people react at the ATO?

We all were in panic, people were scared. People with children left the city. Dwellers who had no place to move, they stayed here. As a result, all people who supposed themselves to be patriots, they took armament, and we started defending the city.

-What was later? Was the city at the frontline?

Kiev military units tried to break into the city the first time on 22^nd July. A plane Su flew above the city. Couple of missiles was launched. Massive shelling of the city started on the 23^rd July. Since 7 am to 9 am the city was subjected to the massive artillery shelling. Then they tried to break into the city, however, they failed to do this. We had regular shelling since 22^nd July and for two months. We were shelled two or three times a day. Hundred or hundred and fifty mines were launched every day. About three thousand people stayed in the city that moment, and they were afraid to go out, we had to deliver water, provision for them. There were 40 thousand, and only there thousand did not leave the city. About five hundred people who were able to defend the city stayed and aged people who did not have a place to go.

-Are Armed Forces of Ukraine far from here?

No, they are close, we are circled by them from three sides.

-How is the situation now?

If honestly, we have not had a peace even for a day.

Ukrainian Armed Forces try to provoke our soldiers and they start shelling. Our militia does not respond as they were ordered.
