Leaving Kyiv On A Refugee Train 🇺🇦

  • 🇺🇦 With reports that the city of Kyiv was soon to be closed off I decided the best thing to do was to join the crowds and leave for the border before being stuck. Whilst it was a sad to see the people leaving their homes behind and taking their kids and pets with them towards an uncertain future it also showed the best of the people. Spirits were high, nobody panicked, people shared food and drinks with each other. It was humbling to be a part of it.

      @I A Hi. Firstly I bought tickets to Lviv, to stay there and maybe than go to Poland. But every train turned out to be refugee train and there were no normal seats and 10 people in one cabin. It was so hard to get on even those trains, so I decided that it was my last chance to get to Poland.(I was right, because nest day there were even more people waiting) We were staying about 8 hours on Ukrainian - Polish border and we had no idea to which city we are going to.

I remember my Dad boosting me, my Mum, and my sisters on to the truck, and my feeling of panic when he didn't get on, he just stood as the truck pulled away and I didn't understand why he didn't get on. He was staying behind to fight. My gosh, all those years ago, and seeing that little girl on the train it brought it all back. The fear and confusion. No fun. No fun at all.
