"Since morning we are hearing bombing and shelling. We are afraid, we have awaited a lot and we cannot wait anymore", says one of the students as the group starts their journey to Mariupol, one of the two cities selected as humanitarian corridors during the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. The distance between Mariupol, situated on the Black Sea coast, and Sumy is more than 600 km.
