Tatiana Iarchova packed her life in a fluorescent orange suitcase to which she clings, this Sunday morning, in front of an Orthodox church in the center of Mykolaiv.

Like about twenty other inhabitants of this city half besieged by the Russian army, she hopes to board a bus bound for Odessa which the Moscow Patriarchate has hastily chartered.

“I didn't want to leave but Katia is completely panicked by the bombardments,”

she explains, pointing to her 21-year-old daughter.

“The Russians are hitting hospitals, orphanages and supermarkets,”

she whispers, lowering her eyes.

An angry old man enters the conversation.

“The Europeans continue to buy gas from Putin,

he complains,

as if their comfort was worth more than our lives.”

Behind him, a column of four battle tanks goes up the avenue towards the east.
