Sydney Morning Herald: Ukraine soldiers tell of their harrowing escape - by foot - from pro-Russian rebels
Artemivsk: When the order to retreat came over the radio, most of the Ukrainian troops under siege in Debaltseve abandoned their heavy weapons, blew up their ammunition, and then fled in convoys of trucks as pro-Russian forces shot at them along the way.
But for Ilya Andrushko, one of about 30 members of Ukraine's Lviv battalion, the only way to escape on Wednesday (local time) was on foot.
"We didn't have a chance to think about the order when it came," said Andrushko, 33. "We ran through the fields and the forests on foot, for about five kilometres. Then we just hitchhiked in whatever military vehicles would pick us up."
