On Friday, February 7, Machowski went to Pokrovsk along with an evacuation group of the police of the Donetsk Oblast. 2 armored vehicles were to take the Orthodox priest, his mother, and the animals from the farm. The situation in the city is very tense due to the fact that the sky is under the control of Russian FPV drones (First individual view), i.e. enabling first-person guidance).

"People proceed to search evacuation"

— On the way, we saw quite a few cars damaged by those drones. Another danger is that the Russians usage fibre optic drones, so the electronic warfare equipment with which we travel cannot always aid us, says Machowski.

According to a volunteer in Pokrowsk, it is now very dangerous due to the fact that KAB raids and FPV drones. But there are inactive quite a few people in town, about 7,000.

— erstwhile you drive around town, you see quite a few people standing around waiting for something. Even the Red Cross comes to help. We're traveling with a police unit. They have appropriate information about the area, so we observe and wait, but it is not a 100 percent safety warrant due to the fact that FPV drones may appear at any time “Machowski says.

— It's a large risk, so we drive at advanced velocity so we don't be late, we should be careful that drones don't fly over our heads. The evacuation is now carried out in specified conditions that there is no 100% certainty that it will be possible to leave,” he adds.
