In Kiev, ukraine's capital, people await evacuation
According to the US Fox News Network reported on the 24th, human rights reporter Cincurova slammed the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs on Thursday. She said the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs abandoned her on a train as Russia took military action against Ukraine.
Sinkurova tweeted on Thursday: "I am a freelance journalist and was invited to a press conference that you organized for me at 8pm last night. At 5:54, I was on the night train, and you cancelled my trip through WhatsApp and said you wouldn't pick me up! ”
Sinkurova said she was left alone and did not wear body armor and was told she could decide wherever she wanted to get off the train.

Sinkurova said she got out of the car "in a remote place" and spotted another train bound for Kharkiv, about 480 kilometers east of Kiev, near the Russian border. In a tweet targeting the U.N. office in Ukraine, she wrote: "I ask you to evacuate me safely, and you should not only help human rights defenders, but also leave them alone in war zones." ”
Born in Slovakia, Sinkurowa was self-taught at the age of twenty-five or six, became a journalist, and soon began covering international human rights news, according to Nate Carlisle, a Utah investigative journalist who mentored Sinkurova last year.
Carlisle told Fox News on Thursday: "She was in a hotel with other freelance journalists trying to figure out how to get back to Slovakia. Considering the grounding at the airport, there is currently no clear answer. Although there seem to be trains passing, I don't know how often they run and whether they have seats. ”

Carlisle said he spoke to Sinkurova earlier Thursday, and Sinkurova said she was "safe for now."
A spokesman for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the situation.
