The volunteers risking their lives to evacuate people from eastern Ukraine

Newshour

Available for over a year

Residents have been told to leave Ukraine's eastern city of Slovyansk, a day after two people were killed in a Russian attack on a market. If Ukrainian soldiers are shifting their positions, so too are the members of the rather diffuse network of Ukrainian volunteers, who've been ducking in and out of the war zones, bringing aid to civilians who stay and evacuating those who want to leave. Dmytro Myshenin, leads a volunteer group based in Sloviansk. He told James Cooramasamy how he started his volunteer work.
