Russian forces launched a surprise attack early on Friday in an attempt to open a new front in the war. Vovchansk - a town 5km from Ukraine's border with Russia - was one of its targets. The Russian forces reportedly advanced 1km before Ukrainian reinforcements held them off. Sky's Deborah Haynes was there. Terror and grief were the overwhelming emotions of dozens of mainly elderly men and women who fled the Ukrainian border town of Vovchansk after the Russian attack.
The streets of the part of the town we entered were almost completely empty. We pulled into a residential area of bungalows. A group of five elderly men and women were on a bench on the side of the road, seemingly happy to stay put. The rescue team pulled up outside an address where they had been told four residents wanted to be evacuated. They knocked on the door but no one replied.
