Dozens of checkpoints and hundreds of miles - my 15-hour journey to safety

Available for over a year

Ukraine is Zhanna Bezpiatchuk's home. She was born in Kyiv and has lived and worked there most of her life. But home is no longer safe. Zhanna is a Correspondent for the BBC’s Ukrainian Service - and with thousands of Russian tanks and soldiers on the outskirts of Kyiv, she and her colleagues have taken the heart-breaking decision to leave their homes. They're heading west, to Lviv, where it is - at least for now - a little safer than Kyiv. It’s normally a journey that would take around 4 hours - but with dozens of checkpoints and many other unknowns along the way, it'll take them closer to 15 hours to complete the journey. And for 5 Minutes On, she's taking us along the way. Image Credit: BBC News
