I keep in constant contact with friends from Russia. It strikes me that there are two themes in their (independent) narratives.
First, they are writing about the fact that the resettlement of entire families and a wide circle of relatives has arisen and is becoming more frequent - from settlements near the war zones inland. People decide literally from today to today and leave without telling their neighbors and friends. They load their cars with huge luggage and just leave.
Their hearts are healed, their souls are aching. They are afraid that they will not break through the cordons of soldiers and policemen with machine guns and masks on their faces. They fear that their homes will be ransacked as soon as it becomes clear that they have left them.
