A DARING Sun dash to the Russian front line turned into a rescue yesterday as five stranded students from a school for the deaf piled into our cars to flee.
The pupils — aged 11 to 19 — and their teacher crammed into the convoy as artillery roared overhead.

Their school in war-torn Kamenskoye had been battered by two direct hits.
One smashed a hole in a dormitory wall, the other crashed into an office.

They said shelling had spiked in the previous 24 hours, while Ukrainian troops feared an assault.

The Sun and a team from The Daily Telegraph drove the youngsters 30 miles north to the city of Zaporizhia.
They were welcomed by staff from another deaf school, which said it would send them further west.
One of the group, 19-year-old Vladislav Bilokin, said “Now I feel fine, but earlier it was very scary.
“It wasn’t safe to stay — the Russians are coming.”
