The students would legitimately be safer if they just stay put and let the fighting pass over them. Insane amount of propaganda convinced everyone that Russia is out to kill everything when in reality they put so much restrain that civilian traffic still goes on while tanks fight each other in the streets.
Just to be clear, driving by an active combat zone is not a safe thing to do.
While we're at it, it's too early to tell how this whole thing will unfold. Even if the Russians roll into Kiev and install a puppet government, we cannot know if this won't devolve into another Syria situation in the mid-long term. If I were a foreign student there I'd be willing to lose a semester of credit and skedaddle until it's clear how this goes down.
Yeah no. Ukraine is actively trying to get civilians to fight Russia. It is far more unsafe to stay alongside Ukrainians right now since they are all trying to become militants.
Russia is bombing major cities, I have had a friend die when a Russian rocket hit his apartment building. Whether it was on purpose or not, lots off collateral deaths happen
