Two convoys of civilian cars in one northeastern Ukrainian village speak of Russia's retreat from the area and the brutality it left behind.
The first -- three cars, laden with a priest, dogs, and troubled frowns -- is headed hurriedly through the village of Staryi Saltiv from the north, fleeing the violence as Ukraine pushes Russian forces out of Rubizhne."We don't even know what's happening," one driver said."We didn't stick around to find out.
Two Russian corpses were found there days earlier and have since been buried.A convoy of vehicles was trying to leave Staryi Saltiv when they were shot up by Russian troops, according to Ukrainian officials.On the brow of the hill sits another, more rare piece of wreckage -- the remains of a Russian T90M tank destroyed days earlier, apparently by a Swedish-supplied Carl Gustav recoilless rifle.
