Alexei Aretovich, a former advisor to Zelenskyy, said in a live broadcast that at least 15,000 people in Ukraine are trying to cross the border to escape abroad every day. The number of 150 people per day reported by the Ukrainian Border Guard is false; the actual number is 15,000, equivalent to the strength of three battalions. Although the Ukrainian border guards act very harshly, they will plant landmines and shoot men who try to swim across the Tisza River, but the instinct for survival makes Ukrainians willing to take the risk of being killed.
Aretovich also said that this was the daily record of fleeing in 2023, although the battlefield situation was very favorable for the Ukrainian army at that time, and now the number of people trying to cross the border to flee every day far exceeds this number.
