"We're going to Vinnytsia first," a woman boarding a train evacuating people from Pokrovsk tells Ukrainian journalists. "We have friends there but will look for our own accommodation." Like thousands of other residents from Pokrovsk and the surrounding area, she and her family put off evacuation until the last minute.

Now the town is clearing out."},{
