'We came back from hell', say Ukrainians after years in Russia-occupied front-line city
One evacuated couple says they crossed minefields in Oleshky in search of food.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as a return of Ukrainians from a Russia-occupied city, with BBC and CBS focusing on evacuation and reunion. CBS alone mentions the residents traveling by bus and plane through Russia and Belarus and says the move followed a deal brokered by Melania Trump. BBC’s earlier and later items add survival details, including shortages of food, water and electricity and, in one extract, a couple crossing minefields in search of food.
