More than 3.9 million Ukrainians have fled the country, according to the United Nations; most of those refugees crossed the border in early March. As the conflict drags on, many Ukrainians say they're committed to their homeland, and the flood of refugees has slowed even as the fighting continues.

Ukrainian women and children are free to leave the country, but men of fighting age must remain. While Mykolaiv is eerily deserted except for soldiers, police officers and firefighters, Odesa remains largely functional, its shops and cafes open. Children play with dogs and kick soccer balls or walk with their families, and the electric trolleys are running.
