Locals board buses arranged by pro-Russia separatists in Ukraine's rebel-controlled region of Donetsk for evacuation as Kiev and Moscow are inching towards war
People board buses arranged to evacuate local residents, in the rebel-controlled city of Donetsk, Ukraine February 18, 2022.
Friday's announcement appeared to be part of Moscow’s efforts to counter Western warnings of a Russian invasion and to paint Ukraine as the aggressor instead. Metadata from two videos posted by the separatists announcing the evacuation show that the files were created two days ago, The Associated Press confirmed.
Rebels began moving children from an orphanage in Donetsk, and other residents boarded buses for Russia. Long lines formed at gas stations as more people prepared to leave on their own.
