Ukrainian soldiers barricade roads to protect region around Mariupol
Reporting from provincial roads outside of Ukraine's key port city of Mariupol Saturday, NBC News' chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel observed many checkpoints and barricades built by Ukrainian soldiers to protect communities in the region.
"They've been cutting down trees, they've been putting stones and earth, piled up in the middle of the roads," he told NBC News' "TODAY."
He said that the roads were "almost entirely empty" and "very few people here are venturing out of their homes."
Ukrainian soldiers were also placing the yellow and blue colors of the Ukrainian flag on their helmets and uniforms in attempts to distinguish themselves from Russian soldiers and avoid friendly fire, he added.
There have been reports that some Russian soldiers were found to be wearing Ukrainian military uniforms and using similar military equipment to the Ukrainian army, he said.
