‘It is too early’ to talk about the full liberation of Kupiansk, a city in eastern Ukraine, says Volodymyr, nom de guerre 'Bronik', a Ukrainian army volunteer, while shelling can be heard in the strategic city that Kyiv says it has retaken. The volunteer also claims locals were tortured at the police station. Maryna Mikhailychenko says she spent a week in jail at the end of July. 'It’s horrible, there is always something flying over our head. I have a child, I have a mother, a sister. The volunteers promised us to evacuate'. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
