FLIGHT FROM ANNEXATION

-

ENTIRE villages are emptying out as Ukrainians flee from Russian annexation, refugees say. “It’s funny. Nobody voted, yet the results are in,” laughed Lyubomir Boyko, 43, from Golo Pristan, a village in Russian-occupied Kherson province as he waited this week outside a UNaid office with his family at a refugee reception centre. Russia prepared yesterday to annex a swathe of Ukrainian territory the size of Portugal and which included the Lugansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzh­ia regions. |
