Stefan Vorontsov described the border checkpoint as the most challenging part of evacuating Ukraine, where evacuees face intense interrogation that can last up to six hours.
Vorontsov emphasized the danger of crossing into Russia, stating that Ukrainians must craft careful 'legends' to explain their presence and avoid detection as partisans.
He explained how young Ukrainian men face greater scrutiny at the border, needing particularly strong reasons for entry into Russia due to previous pro-Ukraine activities.
Vorontsov's organization, Humanity, has successfully assisted over 6,000 Ukrainians in escaping from southern and eastern regions occupied by Russia since early 2022.
