Residents of Helson, a southern city already occupied by the Russian army, told NHK on the 7th that food could run out in about a week, but the residents were still told by the Russian army. He talked about the difficult situation in the area, such as showing an attitude of resistance.
The footage was taken in the center of Helson, a city in southern Ukraine.
In front of a truck loaded with relief supplies from the Russian side, residents are filmed saying, "I don't need relief supplies from Russia," and refusing to receive them.
A Ukrainian man in his 50s living in Helson responded to an online interview with NHK on the 7th.
According to the man, the residents of Helson are now surrounded by Russian troops, unable to leave the city, and the Russian troops refuse to accept relief supplies from the Ukrainian side, so food is bottomed out. It means that it is on the rise.
Still, he said no inhabitants were trying to get food from the Russian army, saying, "The locals are very negative to the occupiers, because they came suddenly and made a peaceful city. We've all taken over. We're all against this. The demonstrations should show the attitude of the Hellson residents towards the invaders. "
The man also commented on the situation in the city, saying, "Helson is already occupied, so there is no actual fighting. Our situation is very quiet, but it is occupied and we leave the town. Not being able to do it is very painful mentally. Russian armed vehicles are parked in front of the city hall. Tanks and the like are running through the town every few hours. "
In an interview, the man also said that in the local market, residents were in line for four hours trying to buy leftover food, saying, "Now we have a week's worth of food. I don't know what will happen after that. Now I'm getting up as late as possible and eating less often. " ..
