Yana Lantertova explained the impossibility of counting the evacuees from Ashki: many did not register out of fear. The humanitarian convoy also collected people from other cities along the way. "We passed different cities on the way, people stood and waved their hands, we stopped. They said: "We also want to leave." Some wanted to go to Russia, others to Ukraine, it was organized immediately. We didn't count and we didn't look: we saw people - the column stopped."
