we'll have to adrian finnegan named key. now, who's been talking to a group of students you know, so for young people, this war has been particularly traumatic. it's interrupted everything from social life, family, life to education, but they're fully aware that the future of their country lies in their hands. i sat down with 3 students of keith school of economics, who told me about their hopes and fears. when it was just started, i remember that they're all very scared, terrified. we got to go to bump shelters. and basically i exist period of one week or 2 weeks. there was nothing to think only about of where we really unfortunately got and got yesterday. and because his m air alarm was all work, just like every 2 minutes in the 1st apes are for in the 1st week. so we didn't know where they're flying at, swan. so we went to the bomb shelters, no starting can just like really a lot of stress. we just like where writing in the child always 21st sound. and that's why everybody was stressful, but you're supporting each other.

adrian, that's right. look, it's not the chaos that it was in the early days and weeks of the war. of course, when millions of people very, very quickly fled ukrainian panic. and terra, it's much more organized now. it's much comic. yes. people arriving every day and reception centers like this at any given moment. there are several 100 people being looked after course by a small army of volunteers and n g o workers. one of them is with me now, and i miss the act with the polish red cross. george, thanks for being with us. you were here right at the very beginning. you've seen this all through the last 12 month. it's not as bad as it was then. but people are still coming on thing. yeah. so during the last years was very different. i was here in the old pages. right now, the amount of smaller, but still coming regularly, what sort of numbers? so right now we have capacity of $300.00 and the centers full. previously, that was even 3000 at the beginning of the war every day. but i hear that now we're talking about several 100 people per day arriving in ukraine. yeah, so there's too ma
