According to media reports, several groups of Ukrainian people arrive every day at a major supermarket car parking in southeastern Zaporizhzhya city, guarded by police cars. The city locals have made the dangerous trip out of the Kremlin-controlled Zaporizhzhya in the country’s southeastern part and finally reached the regional capital area still under the control of Ukrainian authorities.
Zaporizhzhya is one of the four Russian-seized areas which the Kremlin formally annexed after holding a so-called referendum from Sept. 23-27.
