A network of volunteers work, coordinated by a Ukrainian referred to in the article only as Vlad, assists in evacuating civilians. They provide support and resources for residents and help evacuate civilians from the embattled sections of the Donetsk region. The article writer joined Vlad in his ambulance as he carried out his days work. They picked up a group of civilians at a bus stop, some were heading further toward the contested east but some were fleeing before it was too late. After dropping off the civilians and running into some Slovak journalists, they journey into Bakhmut. Vlad continues further into the city to rescue civilians, while the writers meet with survivors in the area. After leaving with a group of civilians, they go to a warehouse where more volunteers are preparing food for a village near Bakhmut. Vlad does work such as this everyday.
