"I wish us the expulsion of Russian foreign occupiers from our homeland and, of course, victory."
Seven people reported killed as bombs hit workshop near main railway station.
Humanitarian workers killed by Russian troops as they brought aid to Borodyanka.
Residents believe the Russians attacked so viciously because of spirited resistance by the local territorial defence.
Residents tell how Russian soldiers left civilians to die in the basement of a bombed out building.
In Russian-occupied areas, the modus operandi has become random torture and the execution of civilians, seemingly on a whim.
Locals recount random, unaccountable violence against civilians in clear evidence of war crimes.
"Fixers are really the critical building blocks of so much of the journalism from Ukraine."
Both sides try to wear the other down, with neither able to strike the knock-out blow.
