Families flee fighting in eastern Donbas region
Thousands of people are trying to escape Ukraine's Donbas region as Russia shifts the focus of its war to eastern Ukraine.
Families have been queuing at Kramatorsk central station for days and some have been saying goodbye to loved ones staying behind.
Meanwhile, Russian forces continue to shell cities in eastern and southern Ukraine and strike targets elsewhere with missiles. Ukraine's second city, Kharkiv, saw intense shelling overnight.
There were also further artillery attacks in parts of Luhansk and Donetsk regions where fighting is expected to intensify in the weeks ahead, as Russia regroups its forces.
According to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Russia targeted Ukrainian army positions and civilian infrastructure in Borivske, Novoluhanske, Solodke, Marinka, and Zolota Nyva — in the eastern Luhansk and Donetsk regions.
