Officials from countries bordering Ukraine will travel to war-torn Kyiv today, amid warnings from Warsaw and Krakow leaders that Poland is reaching, and quickly surpassing refugee capacity.
This is all just so horrible. What the Russians are doing is a war crime (or more accurately, a series of war crimes), in my opinion. They are essentially trying to raze Ukraine to the ground, and to depopulate the country at the same time. My heart goes out to the brave Ukrainian people.
3 years ago we went to Warsaw and stayed in the Old Market Square, which had been destroyed by the Nazis in WW2 and painstakingly rebuilt to exacting specifications in the 50s. The Poles were lovely people and we got to see Warsaw during Christmastime. It made a strong impression on me. I was shocked this morning to hear that there are 300K refugees in Warsaw alone from Ukraine. Definitely looking for any way to help. Feeling like we are on the right side of history here and that our actions will have great meaning for the future of Europe and, more than likely, the rest of the world. We can do good.
