Some suitcases filled at full speed, dragged along a road or loaded in the trunk of a car. The Ukrainians were tens of thousands, from Thursday, February 24, to leave their country, prey to violent Russian military offensives. The missiles fell on a large part of the territory, pushing many families to rally neighboring countries, including Poland.
“I do not know when or if I will go back to Ukraine,” says Konstantin, refugees in the train station of Przemysl, about twenty kilometers from the border. For Ivan US, a Ukrainian living in Krakow, Poland, for two years, helping his compatriots was obvious. “I want to help the Ukrainians fleeing this war,” he says. He came to the border, in Medyka, to help them.
