War in Ukraine: On the border with Poland – Women and children in tents and with polar temperatures

They do not stop refugee flows Ukrainian citizens who, even risking their lives, try in every way and means to reach the safe borders of their country with the Poland. Women of all ages, with their minor children holding them in their arms or babies in their arms and a few items in a bag are now piling up at the border, as most do not know where to go.

The authorities’ concern there is their housing… with the temperatures even appearing below zero, according to the report of the state television of ERT.

“It was scary in our country and we hope Zelensky wins and Putin wins. stop the war. “Let’s go to Poland and thank Poland very much,” said one refugee.

“A friend helped us move to Poland and we spent two hours eating. “We go to my cousin and then I hope to go to another European country,” says Violet from Poltava.

Prepared for the pre-announced humanitarian drama, which does not seem to have an end, hundreds of volunteers from all over the world appear willing, available and ready to offer solutions and relief to these afflicted people.

“We are in Ukraine, the situation is much more difficult than the borders, you see despair and people trapped in the country. “What we understood is that if you do not have a passport you have no choice and that creates another level of humanitarian crisis and here we are doing the best we can to make them feel welcome,” said one volunteer.

The mayor of Austria’s Dolne, a town adjacent to the Krossienko border crossing, is reassuring that at least at the first reception point, no refugees will be left in the cold.

Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzakowski says Europe needs “a system of refugee resettlement”. In fact, it was only twenty-four hours before the capital and other Polish cities warned they were full and could not accept more refugees, following a huge influx of more than 1.8 million Ukrainians fleeing the war to their homeland.
