China News Service, Beijing, February 27th. Since Russia announced its military operation in the Donbas region on the 24th, the situation in Russia and Ukraine has attracted global attention.
What is the status of the Donbas region?
On the 27th, Chinanews.com connected a local war reporter Lu Yuguang.
"There is electricity, water, and internet. Please rest assured. There is no problem in people's lives."
On February 23, local time, military vehicles appeared on the streets of the suburbs of Donetsk.
He told Chinanews that because it is not far from Russia, the supply of materials is relatively abundant.
"We went to the supermarket to buy something yesterday, and we were very satisfied after spending three or four hundred renminbi."
Even so, in the footage, the severely damaged house behind Lu Yuguang clearly shows people that the security situation in this area is still not optimistic.
He introduced that this was caused by the shelling the night before.
At present, the fierce fighting between the two sides is still going on.
On the 27th, foreign media reported that Russian troops had entered Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city.
On February 25, local time, in Kharkiv, Ukraine, people took refuge in a subway station.

Just yesterday, Lu Yuguang received a call from a young man in Kharkov.
"He said that he stayed in the basement for three days. I said you have to hold on. The war will not be long, but it will not end in a short time. First, you must ensure your own safety and have food and drink."
Lu Yuguang also reminded Chinese in Ukraine to try not to go out as much as possible, and to keep in touch with the Chinese embassy in Ukraine.
As a war correspondent who has witnessed many wars, Lu Yuguang personally experienced the conflict in Donbass in 2014.
"We stayed in the basement for a week and drank glucose water every day. It was such a state."
In the early morning of February 27, local time, in Kiev, Ukraine, thick smoke enveloped the city.
According to CNN, the British "Guardian" and other foreign media reporters in Ukraine, two large explosions occurred near Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, in the early morning of the 27th local time.
He told Chinanews.com that he saw so many battlefield scenes with his own eyes, and he was firmly opposed to war.
This is felt by the people in the Donbass.
Talking about the attitude of the local people in Donbas to the conflict, he said that the local people are opposed to the war, "they just want to take their children for a walk on the street."
And Lu Yuguang himself hopes to "use our own eyes to report the scene situation" and present "the news that we have seen and measured with our feet".
