Thien hurriedly answers the phone while packing his clothes to prepare to evacuate the southern Ukrainian port city of Odessa and leave for Moldova.

Thien tells VnExpress by phone on the afternoon of Feb. 28 (night Hanoi time): "Tomorrow I will go to Moldova and stay there for a week. Many people here go to Lviv in western Ukraine.
