Thousands flee Ukraine for Russia; truce nears end

IZVARYNE, Ukraine (AP) - Thousands of Ukrainians in cars stuffed with belongings lined up today at the eastern border to cross into Russia, with some saying they felt betrayed by their government and vowing never to return. A commander at the rebel-controlled border post southeast of the city of Luhansk said 5,000 people had left by evening, joining a stream he said has continued unabated through a shaky cease-fire set to expire on Friday.
