Many people living on Eastern Ukraine are leaving their homes because of fears that their town will in the middle of fighting. The evacuation was ordered by separatist leaders and many Ukrainians do not know where they are being taken. The Ukrainians had been told that they would be taken to Rostov, but are actually being taken further into Russia. Some Ukrainians already want to go back home and do not want to be lied to about where they are going. It seems as if the Separatist leaders are trying to convince Ukrainians that the Ukrainian government wants to attack the areas that they control. I think that the Ukrainians living near Russian controlled group areas are more worried about being caught in the midst of firing between both sides. It is hard to tell how much longer this situation is going to go on for. Hopefully the people that evacuated will soon be able to return to their homes.
