Russian troops are bombarding port cities in eastern and southern Ukraine.

Then, this time, we will connect with Correspondent Jang Seon-i, who is reporting locally.



You are reporting from Romania, which borders Ukraine, where did you go this time?



<Reporter>



Yes, our reporters arrived in Isakchea, Romania, after driving 500km overnight after covering Cherniuchi in southwestern Ukraine.



From here you can reach Ukraine in 15 minutes by boat, so it is a place where refugees, mainly living in the southern part of Ukraine, cross the border.



Beyond the river behind me is the land of Ukraine.



Isakchea, located in eastern Romania, is bordered by Ukraine across the 800-meter-wide Danube River.



Barges that can load people and vehicles travel between Romania and Ukraine seven times a day. In many cases, up to 2,000 refugees a day come here, but now about 400 to 500 people cross the border.



Recently, the number of people returning to Ukraine has increased as much as those who crossed over.



As the war escalates, they are unable to find a place to settle here or are returning to a relatively safe area in Ukraine because of their families left behind.



However, as the situation in southeastern Ukraine deteriorates rapidly, more and more people are evacuating from southern regions such as Odessa.

It's been 50 days since the war started. How are the people doing in the refugee camps in the border area?



<Reporter>



Yes, yesterday (18th), before we came here, we covered the village of Syret, Romania, which borders the southwestern part of Ukraine, and we toured the refugee camp there.



The refugee camp built on Siret's soccer field can accommodate 450 people at a time.



It is run by the Romanian government and aid organizations from around the world to provide lodging and meals to the refugees and help them move to places where they can stay for a long time.



It used to be a place where 300 to 400 refugees a day visited, but now most of them are volunteers and there are very few refugees.



They all left in search of a place to stay for a while.

[Alin/Romania Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters Manager: This is a temporary facility that can only stay for 72 hours, so pack the necessary documents and go to another country, or those who cannot afford it go to a long-term stay facility

Since then, it is estimated that 4.87 million people have fled Ukraine.
