In Pokrovsk, you feel like you're in a video game, trying to catch the monotonous buzzing of a drone in the winter air before it spots you.

The locals have long adapted to such conditions and are in no hurry to leave. They try to manage their austere daily routine within the four-hour window of activity—curfew here lasts from 3:00 PM to 11:00 AM.

All roads out of the city are under constant surveillance by enemy drones. Electronic warfare (EW) is no longer a panacea, and the city is tangled in a web of discarded fiber-optic cables.

The "White Angel" team continues their selfless efforts to evacuate children, whom their parents hide in basements, exposing them to danger.

One of them was Danya, a 16-year-old teenager who hadn’t left the basement for the past two weeks, living there with his mother, grandmother, and other neighbors.

In the last photos, Danya is finally safe, playing the guitar and smiling at a transit point in a neighboring town outside Pokrovsk.
