March 5th, 2022. Irpin, another day of the Russian attack on the city. At 3:39 PM, the parents of 10-year-old Kristina reach the destroyed bridge. It was blown up by the Ukrainian army to stop the passage of Russian armored columns. But the bridge is also the passage inside the city where many civilians remain. Harder fights continue inside, but Stella and her husband have to return for their daughter. The army initially won't let them go - it's too dangerous and the missiles only fall closer. Parents do not quit - the full path of their escape is recorded by Outriders reporter who accompanied the family. The most important parts of the three-hour path in the shelled city are given to you in the 8th episode of the Outriders podcast.  See also the visual version of the report https://outride.rs/en/irpin/ -- Support us and join the Outriders Club: https://world.outride.rs/en
