We headed to the central city of Dnipro last night from Donbas in eastern Ukraine, where Russian troops are expected to advance and have been clashing with Ukrainian troops along the front line there.
The front line in Donbas has been pretty fixed for eight years, but Russian forces are now attempting to move forward and take much more territory. Yesterday we heard sporadic explosions throughout the day.
About 7,000 people from Donbas have taken special trains west to relative safety. We also saw lots of cars from Donbas on the roads.
As we passed one significant town, Pavlograd, we saw soldiers and workmen with heavy machinery building a massive checkpoint. They were laying big concrete blocks and putting down sandbags and preparing to fortify that city in an attempt to stop any Russian advance westwards across the country.
Dnipro is a strategic city on the Dnieper river. There has been fighting to the south of here and also to the north in the city of Kharkiv. People are worried about what the future holds.
Tam je več "vojske" kot v prestolnici? A ni nihče predvidel, da bodo rusi prišli iz belorusije ali kaj?
