    Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, more than 3 million people have been forced to flee their homes and leave the country. The vast majority are migrating west, toward the EU, and most are ending up in neighboring Poland. To escape the violence of the ground more than 2 million refugees have escaped by train, turning Ukraine’s railroad network into a vital lifeline.
    We sent a crew out to Przemyśl, a small Polish town on the border with Ukraine, to speak with the people who have fled Ukraine and left everything behind. In this video, we share their stories and take a look at how the railroad is operating in a war-torn country. To help us understand what a difficult operation this is, we spoke to the CEO of Ukrainian Railways, Oleksandr Kamyshin, who is running a mobile command unit to ensure Ukrainians can board trains and get to safety.
    To hear their stories and understand the arduous journey many make by rail, watch our video.

    To all the Ukrainians fleeing to Romania, please, please, be careful of human traffiking, if you can, double check a person at the border, send a message to a trusted person about your whereabouts. There are romanian volunteers at the border that help you with prepaid internet cards. I know you're all exhausted but take a minute or two to use them first and check the social media accounts and pictures of whoever told you will take care of you. And if someone tries to take advantage of you or charge you for his service please call 112 immediately or ask someone else for help, there are tons of people willing to help, but a few rotten tomatoes that try to take advantage of you.
    Take care!

      Dearest Denis,
      I presume you are well-intentioned and your concerns are genuine, however, if you have any knowledge of or involvement in the fight against human trafficking, you should let people know the very unfortunate truth - and that is that they can be trafficked from literally every single country they set foot in, including the western countries that are not at all the angelic nations the media portrays them to be. You singling out Romania is straight out wrong and you are creating a false narrative about your own (presumably) country. You can do better.

    We here in Poland had a difficult historical relationship with Ukrainians. But I'm proud of my nation that we said "Okay, it happened, it's in the past. Today, we are writing a new history.". And to all Ukrainians watching this: you are welcome here. Everyone is working to help, not just services. Ordinary citizens are coming to the border and driving people anywhere for free. Me, my company, my city, my local scouts, everyone have committed many resources to help Ukrainians. Because nobody should suffer from war. Nobody. Slava Ukrainie.

    It would be nice to hear more about the other neighbour countries like Hungary and Romania. All my respect goes to Poland because most of the help is needed in there, but as i see in my country (Hungary) most of the people (dont forget that people is not equal with the goverment) try to help as they could. For example my home village is a 100km far from the Ukrainan border and in the first days we gave home for as many familys as we could and gave them everything that they needed. We dont need to be in the focus, cause that is not the reason of our work. Im just saying the it would be nice to hear about the other helping countries too.

    Today I saw another thing which deeply affected me: I drove past a white van with a ukrainian license plate that had the word "Children!!!" in Ukrainian and Russian written all over its back and sides. I speak a little bit Russian and it was clear to me immediately that whoever had written that, had fled from the war in that van and had been hoping that this word alone would save them from being shot at or bombarded. 😭 What thoughts must have been on their mind in that moment? What must they have gone through? 😥

An unfortunate phenomenon is the circulation of stories of ungrateful refugees, I'm glad to say that most people realise that the vast majority of people are as thankful as they can get.

    I've been volunteering in my city in Germany to help the refugees arriving here, Poland has been sending a lot of people specifically to us because so many are in Poland already. They always get here after traveling for days, having everything they could comfortably carry with them. Many children, pets (which poses a whole other challenge in terms of getting to stay somewhere). Some people had many bags, some had nothing, some even ended up coming here directly from a vacation they were taking during which the war began... It's heartbreaking to see, but I'm glad that the EU has been relatively hospitable towards the people arriving here, though asylum bureaucracy is a whole other beast of its own.
    I volunteer specifically as a translator (I speak Russian) so I can speak to the people directly. So many stories to tell and it's all heartbreaking, but at least they now have a peaceful sky over them. I hope they all manage to find some peace and quiet once they manage to settle down, and hopefully they'll be able to go home soon.

    With other equally devastating war conditions for everyone, men are forcibly last to be rescued (from Irpin, as officials publicly said, men could have left the continuously shelled area only as drivers for women), publicly humiliated for attempts to save their lives and are thrown at battlefield against their will and are not even allowed to flee to a safe place. Men are forced to stay in the country even if they have no any prior war action knowledge and skills.

    I personally crossed the border on Feb 26/27, the claims of racism are untrue, it is related to the Ukrainian policy of women and children first while Ukrainian men were not allowed. Giving the appearance of racism, but they let brown and black women through the same as white women. And I met a white American who had been waiting days.

      Lies. Evidence says otherwise. Indian and African women were thrown out of trains to make room for Ukrainians. Most of those students had to walk to the border, were not allowed to buy food and water from restaurants and beaten up by border guards. Even the women were not spared. Most of this is on video. And no, you didn't cross any border. Keep shilling tho.

What changed is that after the arrival of Syrian men (beware, Ukrainian men cannot leave Ukraine), the criminality raised, it was dangerous to get outside for young women, because of the incompatibilities of Islam with the Western civilization, many conflicts were going on. What should have happened, is that a rich Arab country should have taken the refugees. Not the Europeans. The incompatibility of cultures is clear
