The evacuation process is painstaking, physically arduous and fraught with emotion.

疏散过程是艰苦的，包括体力上的艰苦，还有情绪上的紧张。

Many of the evacuees are elderly, ill or have serious mobility problems, meaning volunteers have to bundle them into soft stretchers and slowly negotiate their way through narrow corridors and down flights of stairs and then into transportation.

许多被疏散的人都是年迈、生病或有严重行动不便的人，这意味着志愿者必须将他们固定在柔软的担架上，缓慢地穿过狭窄的走廊和楼梯，然后开始乘坐交通工具。

Fighting has raged north of the town of Bakhmut as Russia intensifies efforts to seize key eastern cities like Sieverodonetsk.

战斗在巴赫穆特镇北部激烈进行，同时俄罗斯加强了夺取东部主要城市北顿涅茨克的努力。

In Bakhmut, only around 30,000 people remain from a pre-war population of 85,000.

巴赫穆特镇战前人口为8.5万人，现在只剩下大约3万人。

Russia asserted Saturday that its troops and separatist fighters had captured a key railway junction in eastern Ukraine, the second small city to fall to Moscow's forces this week as they fought to seize all of the country's contested Donbas region.

俄罗斯周六声称，其军队和分裂主义武装分子占领了乌克兰东部的一个关键铁路枢纽。这是本周落入莫斯科军队控制的第二个小城市。俄罗斯军队正努力夺取乌克兰有争议的顿巴斯地区。

A Russian Defense Ministry spokesman said the city of Lyman had been "completely liberated" by a joint force of Russian soldiers and the Kremlin-backed separatists, who waged war in the eastern region bordering Russia for eight years.

俄罗斯国防部一名发言人表示，俄罗斯士兵和克里姆林宫支持的分裂分子组成的联合部队已经“完全解放”了莱曼市，这些分裂分子在与俄罗斯接壤的东部地区发动了长达八年的战争。

Lyman had a population of 20,000 before Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.

在2月24日俄罗斯入侵乌克兰之前，莱曼有2万人口。

French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Schulz spoke in a phone conversation with Russia's Vladimir Putin on Saturday, asking him to release the 25,00 Ukrainian fighters who were holed up inside the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol and later taken prisoner by Russia.

法国总统马克龙和德国总理舒尔茨周六与俄罗斯总统普京通了电话，要求普京释放躲藏在马里乌波尔亚速钢铁厂内的2500名乌克兰战士，这些战士后来被俄罗斯俘虏。
