Dnipro embodies the merciless question across Ukraine: Where is safe?
Evgeny, 37, sits in a hallway of his apartment with his girlfriend, Alina, 24, as his son Seva, 12, hugs his cousin Anya, 18, in the background in Dnipro, Ukraine, on March 2. Evgeny came to Dnipro after he fled Ukraine's Donbas region in 2014. DNIPRO, Ukraine — The air-raid sirens in Anya’s Kharkiv neighborhood in Kharkiv didn’t work. So the blasts from Russian shells came without warning. And then they got closer and louder. They didn’t stop.
Anya, an 18-year-old artist, packed clothing, her laptop and a sketch pad. She had to leave behind her ukulele and her parents, who evacuated on Wednesday. She and her girlfriend called around for a taxi for about an hour, offering the driver a bribe to take them to the train station despite the ongoing bombardment.Anya’s destination was Dnipro, a city about 120 miles southwest of Kharkiv that has yet to see any shelling.
Just leaving Kharkiv — enduring some of the most intense Russian barrages so far in this war — has been especially dire. There have been very few breaks in the assault on the city. Almost no cabs are running, causing people to try hitchhiking. Evacuation trains and buses are filling up.
