e u members, poland, slovakia, hungry romania as well as non e u member moldova as fighting worsens. these countries are now bracing for more refugees in the coming days. all they have with them is what they can carry people streaming out of ukraine into neighboring countries like poland. this woman and her 3 children watch the last 15 kilometers. younger you come up, we have to guy. if we're running away from the war, i'm saving my life and my children's lives with her husband drove the family as close to the border as possible, but he's not allowed to cross men of fighting age can't leave ukraine. many families are being separated at the border, new doors of, of so my husband has to join the army. he has no choice. it's the same situation at the savannah and border. some people have friends and family waiting to pick them up. this ukranian woman sister is supposed to arrive any moment. we're scared,

by the way. i tried to give call, want to make some think we're our arrows, our family and at the hungarian border, more people escaping ukraine. the fighting hasn't reached their region, but they are afraid of me. let me go to virginia. we had to leave everything behind our whole lives and it's awful god, you go to college life a little back at the polish border. people wait at the nearby train station. one woman has come all the way from keith, where russian troops are closing in. took my son a go somewhere, doesn't matter, but not in your grain. because dangerous nazzo the queues at the ukraine, poland border, stretched for kilometers on friday evening. all the people here just want to get at and get to safety that spring. you now dw corresponded max and who is at the train station in financial up maxim more than

a $100000.00 ukranian refugees have already arrived in poland. describe the situation there for the training sessions on this, as you rightly pointed out, and it just became a lot more busy. over the last last few minutes. the last train from ukraine just came in and brought up a lot of new people and people here actually a polish locals and people from the city council fire fighters as well. so they're working very hard to provide, provide help, provide many donations like these food donations over here, and services to the people here who arrive here at the airport. so the handling out food, but they're also helping them with the next travel arrangements. i'm trying to bring them together with family and relatives if there are some in poland or a neighboring countries, or if not, help them with accommodation. bring them to some of the reception center said have been put in place here in the country and the interior minister deputy in terms of poland. and i came to the area this morning and spoke to the press and said,

i pointed out more than a 100000 people, already half crossed from ukraine to poland. and they're likely going to be a lot more on numbers. conservative estimates were about $1000000.00, but perhaps they're going to be even more than that. but it seems that the authorities are and, and locals are doing their uttermost to, to provide assistance to the people who have community max. it's literally busing their. i can't imagine that there's going to be a lead up anytime soon. the refugees are offering on the road for hours. i imagine they arrive though having not slept or eaten much. what condition are they in? that's absolutely right. i mean people, people are leaving. you train for a reason. people are anxious people have fear. people have experience trauma perhaps, but also they are just very exhausted that the trip through ukraine on the nozzle, the last leg across the border text takes a lot of time at the land crossings. have been particularly difficult to the car

crossings because you have a huge pile ups of traffic people to leave their cars and, and walk the last few kilometers to cross the border. so people who arrived there naturally very exhausted. and in addition to that, the ukrainian authorities hm. made it changed the, the crossings at the style, the crossings. you cannot cross my car from, you trained to pull it any longer because a lot of the drivers were male and they're trying to keep anybody of the fighting age between 18 and 60 in the country. so now people who leave you train and cross the border to pull and actually have to walk, or if they come by train here to the train station. it's also very difficult because you're dealing with a lot of checks for the same reason. and a lot of delays. so people here are in a very difficult state max, i wonder how do people on the ground in poland actually view this attack in ukraine

and are they, are they angry, or is there a few that perhaps russia mate may have them in it? sites me that's this difficult to say. i mean everybody, everybody across the board is worried. that's for sure. there have has been a story come, mistrust tu, tu, tu, tu? to rush out for especially some older parts of the polish generation. so people are doing very close to what's happening and a lot of people are afraid that this, that violence may spill over. and that perhaps being in the european union and being a nato might not be enough protection after all. but at the moment, the situation is very fast moving, of course and people are obviously worried and watching very close to what's happening. max sandra, with a group of very tired and hungry people there in a machine and many,
