we saw people from all over the region, two had come fleeing from russian occupied territory, placeskherson, outside of mariupol. and all of these people, they were in danger their entire trip. what they did, instead of going out in a massive convoy that was organized by the united nations and the international red cross and red crescent, like those who are coming out from underneath the steel works, they instead simply heard that the bombs and the guns were silent because of that cease-fire that had been organized to free up the people inside there. so they piled into their cars and decided this was the time to make a break for it. some i spoke with said they had made several previous attempts to make it north to where they thought they would be safe. instead, they stopped because they encountered shelling and russian resistance. they didn t feel safe making the journey. so they returned home.
