With flights to Europe suspended, Russians who want to leave the country have few options. One route that is still available is the train to Finland. Around 5,000 Russians have made the journey in the last 10 days. As Al Jazeera's Paul Rhys reports from Helsinki, some do not know if they will return home.
Поскольку рейсы в Европу приостановлены, у россиян, желающих покинуть страну, мало вариантов. Один маршрут, который все еще доступен, - это поезд в Финляндию. Около 5000 россиян совершили путешествие за последние 10 дней. Как сообщает корреспондент Al Jazeera Пол Рис из Хельсинки, некоторые не знают, вернутся ли домой.

GENEVA — The United Nations human rights office said on Tuesday that it had verified 1,335 civilian casualties in Ukraine, including 474 killed and 861 injured, since Russia’s invasion began on Feb. 24.
But the civilian toll was incomplete pending corroboration of reports, it said in a statement: “This concerns, for example, the towns of Volnovakha, Mariupol, Izium where there are allegations of hundreds of civilian casualties.”
Google searches for “visa” and “political asylum” spiked in Russia as more Russians want to flee their country.
