Ukrainians fled west for safety. Now Russian drones are following them
In recent weeks, Russian drone attacks have intensified in western Ukraine, particularly in Lutsk and Rivne, causing civilian casualties and widespread fear. Local emergency services are overwhelmed, responding to multiple incidents daily. Residents, including those who relocated from Kyiv seeking safety, now feel threatened as drones target critical infrastructure. Schools have adapted to ongoing air alerts, but educational routines are severely disrupted. While some families consider leaving Ukraine, others prepare for potential power outages this winter. In Lviv, residents remain anxious about the possibility of future attacks, acknowledging the psychological toll of living under constant threat.
