If I say run, you run, Tetiana tells us. She and her colleague Yasha are escorting us into a city now under constant bombardment from Russian drones, missiles and glide bombs. It is raining and cloudy as we enter the city, and our military escorts call this good weather, meaning it is bad for drones.
