    Russian attack forces frustrated, hungry residents from Ukraine border town

    Residents of a Ukrainian border town, frustrated and angry at an armoured ground attack by Russian troops trying to secure a new foothold, were evacuated from their homes on Friday with an uncertain future ahead. Officials brought together dozens of inhabitants of Vovchansk and surrounding villages during breaks in the fighting and took them to an undisclosed location where they awaited buses to take them to safe locations. "We are leaving because we are dying from the 'Russian world,'" said Valerii Dubskyi, 60, referring to a Russian concept of extending Moscow's influence beyond its borders.
