ABC News’ Matt Gutman spoke with refugees in Ukraine and Poland as they made their way from war torn cities, to safety amid the uncertainty.When 25-year-old Yulia Yemelianenko crossed the border from Lviv, Ukraine into Poland earlier this week, she broke down in tears.
Asked if she feels that she has been displaced, she said, “I'm trying not to think about this at all, because I don't know when I can see my mother next time.”She said she hopes to return to Ukraine as soon as possible and reunite with her friends, some of whom stayed back to fight in the war.At the train station in Lviv, Ukraine, volunteers have been working to organize thousands of people seeking to board trains to Poland.
Marcus Lawani, who is also waiting with the group, told ABC News that he believed some of his African friends were “turned back based on their color” because “they want more Ukrainians to leave.”Women and children have been given priority at congested border crossings and many Ukrainian men of fighting age have stayed behind after Ukraine began drafting reservists aged 18-60 to fight for their country.
“Things that are happening now in Kyiv are just really bad,” he said. “Shelling, gunfights, tanks, rolling over cars, people getting hurt civilians. And now that I look back, I'm really glad we made that decision.”
