SAN FRANCISCO — Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians are trying to get out of their country to escape the Russian invasion. Some have made it out, but for many, leaving has been difficult, like Aaron Starr of Yountville who, along with his girlfriend, fled Friday.
“When we got there, we were like ‘we can finally see it,’ the border, and I took a picture and shared it and everyone was super happy and we were in this line to walk there. When we walked there — we realized that wasn’t the border — that was the border for cars. Totally different than the border for people,” said Aaron.The lines seemed interminable among 10,000 people.
Aaron says there was only a handful of Ukrainian border guards and that people were scared, screaming and punching trying to get out of harms way. He says it is a real humanitarian crisis. He and Anna fought for every inch closer to Poland.
