Kupiansk resident Vitaliy, 39, waits for an evacuation team to arrive to help take him and his children to safety on March 06, 2023 in Kupiansk, Ukraine. Volunteers from the European Traditions of Charity (ETOC) have been evacuating vulnerable civilians from Kupiansk to the relatively safer regional capital of Kharkiv. Authorities in the Kharkiv region, which includes Kupiansk, said last week that families with children and people “with limited mobility” must leave the city due to increased attacks by Russian forces. Kupiansk was captured by Russia early in its 2022 invasion and later retaken by Ukrainian forces after a counter-offensive in the country's northeast. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
