Ukrainian refugees' fear of their homeland is so great
that many have decided to become Russian citizens, according to the CNN
news item.
The American TV channel's correspondent, Phil
Black, visited a temporary accommodation camp and learned from
Ukrainians why they left their homeland and why they believed there will
be no return for them. Refugees told him they did not intend to go
back, because they no longer saw a future, either for themselves or
their children, in Ukraine.
According to official data,
since Kiev's military operation began to gain momentum, government
troops began to take back large areas from the Lugansk and Donetsk
militia. This had a profound effect on the number of refugees crossing
the border from Ukraine into Russia.
The correspondent met people who were leaving the camp.
Their fear of their own homeland is so great that they decided to accept
refuge and offers of work in a remote Arctic region, the journalist
notes. "I will probably never return to Ukraine, because my children
have no future there. They've broken our lives," refugee Natalia said.
According to official data, nearly half a million Ukrainians have found refuge in Russia, the journalist concludes.
