Only soldiers remain in the metallurgical plant, some of them seriously injured, after this week the evacuation of the 200 civilians who took refuge in the building's bunkers was completed.

The members of the Ukrainian army who are resisting in the steel mill have had to improvise a hospital to palliate the wounded in the war.

In the video that accompanies this news you can see the conditions that people who resist in the bowels of the steel mill have to face.

The survivors who have fled the city and who have managed to reach the city of Zaporizhia, near the Dnieper River, say that the situation at the plant is unsustainable, as they hardly have access to water, medicine or food.
