An Italian trapped in the
Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Kherson with his Ukrainian
wife and 22-month-old daughter told ANSA Monday: "It's all
blocked here, the city is surrounded, and if anyone tries to
escape they shoot them".
Giovanni Bruno, 35, from Pozzallo in Sicily, said "we only go
out to try to get basic necessities. But by now you can't find
hardly anything any more, food and medicine are lacking".
Some 40 people, Italians and their Ukrainian family members, are
trapped between Kherson and Nova Kachovka, 70 km to the east,
Bruno said.
"We are in contact with the Italian foreign ministry in Rome,
but for now there are no possibilities for evacuation".
