The state of Popasna is similar to the besieged Mariupol: Russian troops shell the city around the clock and prevent civilians from being evacuated.

Details: Residents of Popasna have spent over 50 days in bomb shelters. Almost every day evacuation efforts are undercut by constant Russian shelling.
It is difficult to access the city.
According to Haidai: "The situation in the city [of Popasna] is similar to Mariupol, the [Russian] orcs are playing by the same rulebook. Popasna is in ruins. They couldn’t capture it, so they destroyed it. Popasna is under enemy fire every day and every night. Fighting never stops.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are inflicting losses on the orcs, but those continue finding new ‘cannon fodder’. Corpses of ruscists are scattered all over Popasna – nobody’s there to collect them."
