TAMPA, Fla. — Project Dynamo of Tampa hopes to evacuate at least 1,000 American citizens and NATO allies from Ukraine in the wake of the Russian invasion earlier this week.
The campaign began Thursday morning. Two buses, named Apollo 1 and Apollo 2 in a nod to the U.S. space-race victory over Russia, have left the Ukrainian capital Kyiv for Romania, said spokesman James Judge.
About three dozen Americans are on board, Judge said. The first bus, with 23 people, was about 20 miles from the Romanian border in southwest Ukraine at noon on Friday.
