Students in Sumy on Saturday said they were running out of hope after several days of promises on their evacuation through a "humanitarian corridor" and that continued bombardment in the city indicated there was no sign yet of a ceasefire for them.
The city also saw a blackout for most part of the day, leaving students without a means to cook.
"There is no water, no food, no electricity for the past two days and the bombings keep getting worse every passing day. Often bombs land a few hundred metres away from us," said Zara Azan.
