The evacuations Friday came on the fourth day of the most significant truce since Russia’s full-scale invasion of neighboring Ukraine began 4½ years ago. Davyd Arakhamia says the evacuees are traveling by bus to the city of Anapa in southern Russia then will flying to Belarus and cross the border into northern Ukraine. Arakhamia is a lawmaker with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Servant of the People party.
