The war arrives on Russians doorsteps
With cross-border strikes, residents of the Russian region of Belgorod are starting to understand the horrors of war being waged at their doorstep. “Shebekino was a wonderful, flowery town on the border with Ukraine filled with happy, neighborly people,” said Darya, 37, a local public sector employee. “Now only pain, death and misery live in our town.
There is no power, no public transport, no open businesses, no residents. Just an empty, shattered town in smoke.”
Belgorod’s regional governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said 2,500 residents had been evacuated. Explosions are audible, too, in the city of Belgorod, the regional capital 20 miles to the north of Shebekino, and residents there have increasingly begun seeking access to basements that can be used as bomb shelters. People who had previously tried to go about their daily business suddenly discovered they could not.
Mr. Gladkov said seven residents had died from shelling over the past three days. It is unclear how many Russians in the border region have been killed overall, but this was almost surely the deadliest week for the Belgorod region since the start of the war.
