Civilians Flee East Ukraine, Warnings of 'Horrific' Abuses

"Civilians in eastern Ukraine struggled to evacuate Friday as Russia redirects its firepower,
with President Volodymyr Zelensky warning of "even more horrific" devastation being uncovered around the capital.... troops are being redeployed toward the east and south, aiming to create a long-sought land link between occupied Crimea and the Moscow-backed separatist statelets of Donetsk and Luhansk in Donbas.
Heavy shelling has already begun to lay waste to towns in the region, and officials have begged civilians to flee, but the intensity of fighting is starting to hamper evacuations.
Luhansk governor Sergiy Gaiday said Russian shelling had damaged a railway route being used by evacuees in the town of Schastia, north of Luhansk." MT
