Another one million are estimated to still be in, some hiding in shelters. The question for the families remains: Should they stay or should they go?
One Ukrainian woman who stayed behind with her daughter and granddaughter told CBS News that Ukraine is a democracy, and she worries about her granddaughter's future.

Andrey, a 4-year-old boy, was exhausted after 20 hours of sleepless escape. His father stayed behind in their besieged city of Kharkiv. His mother and his brother remained with Andrey. "We heard explosions over our heads at the train station and all the way on the train," the woman said."You're aware you may never return home." "Every day begins with a text to our relatives," says 16-year-old Dennis.
