At an aid collection point in Moscow, a small group of volunteers sorted through a mountain of donations left for those fleeing fighting near the Ukrainian border.

"Some are without clothes, some are without shoes," said 21-year-old volunteer Ilya Krestyaninov, as his colleagues emptied bags filled with children's toys, baby food and blankets.
