snoop1130 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Nguyen Thi Hong and her husband celebrate the 2022 Lunar New Year in their apartment in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Photo courtesy of Hong Nguyen Thi Hong's family fled Kharkiv on March 2, leaving everything that they've worked for 24 years to accumulate. They only took some clothes and walked out of the apartment where they had lived for 15 years late one night. "The apartment was dark since electricity was cut off. When we walked down the stairways, we also saw other families heading down to flee," Hong, 50, said.

To put your comments into context: Ukranian men under 60 are staying to fight so old men, all women and children are being prioritised. How would you go about it?
