Thousands of Ukrainians Flee To Poland For Safety
Remember trump believes that putin was brilliant. Those that support trump stand with russia.
Ukraine has already won the fight.
🇳🇬💙🇺🇦💛
I stand with Ukrainian sovereignty f Putin
The Ukrainian refugee crisis has already begun
The time for the US and its European allies to act is now.
.
The United Nations has estimated that about 100,000 Ukrainians have already been displaced as a result of the Russian invasion, and that number could ultimately grow to 1 to 5 million. The international community is making preparations to meet their humanitarian needs — though perhaps not quickly enough.
Just hours after Russia’s assault began on Thursday morning, there were massive traffic jams, sold-out train tickets, and long lines at ATMs in Kyiv as people tried to flee with little clue as to how long they might be gone or if they’ll ever return.
“There is a significant movement of the population, but it is also hard to say whether people are moving permanently or for the short-term,” said Irina Saghoyan, the eastern Europe director for Save the Children, which has been on the ground in Ukraine since 2014.
.
For now, central Europe is welcoming Ukrainians with open arms. Receiving countries include Poland, which is planning to accommodate up to 1 million Ukrainians, as well as Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and Moldova, where 4,000 Ukrainians arrived on Thursday. But those countries aren’t currently equipped to handle the volume of refugees that are likely to arrive on their borders in the coming weeks, and European and US leadership need to scramble to help build up that capacity.
The primary receiving countries in central Europe simply don’t have the capacity to meet those needs on a large scale and on a prolonged basis. Poland, for example, only accepted about 5,200 refugees in the first nine months of 2021. A million is a big step up.
“The amount of resources being dedicated to this may not be sufficient to the full scope and scale of the crisis,” said Daniel Balson, the advocacy director for Europe and Central Asia for Amnesty International.
Ukrainians’ needs go beyond temporary provisions of food, clothing, and shelter that can sustain them through the cold weather. They are facing the prospect of long-term displacement, and that means they need formal pathways to legal status, access to resettlement services, permanent housing, education, and healthcare. They also need vaccination for Covid-19, which has ravaged Ukraine in recent months; only about 36 percent of Ukrainians are vaccinated.
European Union states will likely bear the brunt of any potential influx of Ukrainian refugees. That will require a lot of money and infrastructure that aid organizations can’t provide in full.
But there’s a role for the US, too. It can provide even more financial support and humanitarian aid than it already has. And while it has been helping to ensure that Ukrainians have a place to go, it also can help coordinate resettlement so no one country has to bear the entire burden, while also making it easier for Ukrainians to come to the US.
Maybe bolsheviks can be deported to rusia because they are not wearing the masks?
Come on safety first right?
Cause they do not beg for freedom, they fight for it.
How DARE Ukraine to place their citizens in danger!
They should have been evacuated!
A government who endangers their citizens is not worthy of Leadership!
Millions of homeless people in USA sleeping in a tent in cold and snow. Sad. To see this.
How about all the Syrian, Afghani, African and others fleeing war. They weren’t taken with open arms
no, because 99% of them were men who had left their children and women. Women and children are fleeing Ukraine. 100% women and children. As you do not see the difference you are either from Russia or stupid as a shoe
My Home will be a Home for a family if I can help ❤️ this day a stop believing in God I start to believe in people the real warriors 😭❤️❤️
Nice production. Fake media.
Omg 😰
Thank You Poland. Keep sending offensive weapons to the brave Ukrainian military and their civilian renegades. Death to Russia. Long live Ukraine, the rarest people in the world. CHOKE ON THAT POOTIN. You too Fox News and Tucker, you are enablers of the Evil empire.
FIGHT FOR YOUR Country💪
Soooo heartbroken, what’s wrong with humans?!! In 2022 we are still under pandemic and this crazy evil person just wants power by humiliating other innocent humans. Little babies and children 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔being a mother myself can’t imagine what they must be going through at the moment?!!!.
We do everything to help a child and a woman. Everyone in Poland offers them help, we just need a little support. People in Poland offer their homes and apartments so that children have a place to sleep. I’m from Krakow. Do not judge us. Help us
Well, what do we do with the covid? without a mask? passed ? It’s normal, the new plan has started – the war,
Ukraine is a communist country. They closed Greek, Israeli and Russian schools. Putin has not touched a Ukrainian civilian. Already Greek civilians have died at the hands of the Ukrainian Government.
links for proof?
Type in Why is Ukraine the West’s fault by John Mearsheimer
West media using emotions and propaganda
Ukranians are strong…we stand with you ukraine…we wont back down🤗🤗🤗
I have to ask, the couple with the newborn trying to leave the Ukraine….why were you there at all out of Raleigh NC? She just doesn’t look like she just had that baby.
I will try to make a brief YouTube video today or tomorrow about the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war for the “Today with Jesimiel” Channel.
Some key points I will discuss:
(.) The USA and other countries inciting Russia towards conflict via conspiracies and hidden agendas!
(.) I sent the Russian Government letters to consider peaceful alternatives! Russia should not have invaded.
(.) The Ukranian government asks for international help, pleads for justice, etcetera, yet, they force by law men between the ages of 18-60 to remain in Ukraine, for war defences purposes. Why exactly are you calling Putin uncivilized/aggressor, while the Ukranian President in an uncivilized, dysfunctional, and unjust way forces men to fight a war! What about women? I have been a long-time advocate of women rights, but, are you telling me that the thousands of women that practice sports in Ukraine, or that join intelligence forces or work, are not more qualified to fight a war, than many over weight Ukanian men who could hardly run, or that may be a lot less intelligent than many Ukranian women? If women want “equal rights”, they need to fight alongside men, including in the front lines. Thus, I may be compelled to defend Ukraine when I see the news, but, I, representing Heaven, or wanting to exert such higher reason ideals, will not be deceived by “any” dysfunctional governments.
We Muslims 🌏🌍🌎all 💗💗💗🇵🇱🇺🇦🇵🇱🇺🇦🇵🇱💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻death to Putin the babykiller🔥🔥
How are you going to ask them that, “do you think you can win” shame on the reporter
thats funny how leftists are trying to mobilize Ukrainians to fight : do you believe that you can win this war against our friend Putin?
If there is a agency based on Poland border helping refugees I would love to donate to help, so more refugees can be hosted and sent to various places in the world. Does anyone know?
Polska Akcja Humanitarna
Caritas Polska
@aggro376 donated 50$.
Dear NBC please stop feeding the victim narrative, with click bait of women crying. What makes anyone think they’re more innocent than anybody else. Especially with women actively signing up to fight along side their Ukrainian Brothers. Women are strong, not victims.
MAKE PUTIN STUPID AGAIN
🙏🏼🙏🏼🇺🇦🇺🇦🕊🕊
If Donald Trump was president. Ukraine wouldnt be dealing with this…
Fox news is officially Putins propaganda channel.
Russians should rise up and cleanse themselves of the murderer Putin. Dethrone the tyrant and put him on trial for crimes against Ukraine and humanity.
USA will be next the real snake of the world
Not cool bruh
Madness!
L❤VE NO WAR PLEASE………
This is like hyenas tearing a child apart. So whoever is normal can watch this and sleep peacefully. History will show that Putin worked just like Hitler. We need to fight Putin, even if the whole world is gone. It will only mean that we are not worthy to be on planet Earth.
Wait mostly women and children actually fleeing a war and they aren’t throwing rocks at border guards? there is no way they are refugees.
Azov
Just doesn’t make sense! Their & fleeing running for their lives. have to rebuild it all and Putin is laughing at them;
Putin is a cruel broken Spirit man;
I am so proud of them they are sticking up with their selves” unlike Afghanistan they let those pirates come straight in and Rob them!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏😭

Pray for Ukraine
praying is do nothing. Please do something against evil. It is very easy to pray but to do something good is much more difficult
I hope that Putin quickly removes the corrupt Nazi Ukrainian Government as he has stated and the Ukrainian people can return to their homes. The Ukrainian Government is one of the most corrupt Governments in the world. Ukraine declared the peaceful people of Donetsk and Luhansk terrorists because they oppose the corruption. Unfortunately, the Ukrainian military is following orders from the corrupt Ukrainian Government. The fake mainstream media will not tell the truth. Numerous UN/US (CIA) bioweapons labs have been destroyed in Ukraine. Ukraine is a major money laundering source for the WEF/UN/Davos Group, NWO in their corrupt efforts to funnel money to corrupt politicians worldwide like Biden and his son.
s it NATO or NoDo? too little too late.
All global dictators must stop their wars. Its the ordinary people that suffer the consequences of these wars. It starts with these dictators; the US, NATO then China and Russia.
Stop Us and jewish provocations!
Putin personal enrichment system is under threat so he told his army to invade Ukraine. The truth is hurt but this is the truth, now Putin is war criminal. See below for proof that Putin is a thief.

Afghans return to Afghanistan to fight for their homeland and beliefs “Terrorists” Ukrainians return to fight for their homeland and beliefs “Hero’s” Wake up to MSM propaganda people!
Europe will welcome those European brothers refugees with no problems. I hope lot of them could find refuge.
This Footage is Totally Heartbreaking.
I admit, I find all this makes me very sad- for myself as well. As an American I wish we had that sort of passionate love for our country. Many do- not most. I know not most, and we hate each other here. Why can’t we recognize we are one country and fellows???
Heroes, glorious heroes!!!
When white people across into EU is ok but when a middle east try to across into EU from berlus they are not welcome lol
Hmm because Poland doesn’t border the Middle East…
That is so sad, but the people of Poland take people from Ukraine with open arms. I talk to my cousins, and they are ready to help people from Ukraine. My friends from Winsconsin have the whole family there. I just talk to them.
I bet there are not feminist demanding that the women be forced to stay behind to fight. Women only want the fun parts of being a man.
No looters… like other countries 😄👍👍👍
Salute people of Ukraine 👍👍👍🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
IF THE MEN CANNOT LEAVE THE COUNTRY AND MUST FIGHT THE WOMEN SHOULD HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING!

Poland will accept an additional million people where financial support from Western Europe? Germany continues to block Poland and Hungary from helping after COVID-19. The West of Europe is blind and deaf.
Please do not come to Poland. We have enough immigrants here.
Nice chosen soundbites. I support the way Russia has worked to rid Ukraine of Nazi’s since 1943. There are many tear jerking soundbites in this “news” but in the end has anyone thought about how many of these refugees may be killers of women and children in the breakaway areas ?
Jesus Christ is Lord Jesus Christ is the only way to Salvation
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have an everlasting life God bless you poh
Home behind is real.🤔🤨
Russia will pay, as the people are wishing for no war. In Democracy, the people have the right to determine what they want their country to be, and I think it’s quite clear that Russia wants a Democracy now. Russia wants to follow Ukraine’s example and have a democracy, which is what Putin fears. Best to take out Putin with votes and continuous calls for no war.
But Poland is holding black Ukrainians at the boarder. It’s sick.
Those are african students not Ukranians
Jestem dumna z Polaków wszyscy w koło pomagają zabierają matki z dziećmi do swoich domów ,mieszkań.
Find Putin. Arrest him. Execute him.
His own people might take him out.

İ know İ know War Why in Kosovo is been War 😥😥
It’s all part of the WEF agenda of fear and terror to bring fourth a NWO
This whole thing is ridiculous.Nato has responsibility too for what has happened
Uczcie sie od polski jaka pomoc jaka organizacja jaka goscinnosc
hi NBC lying leftist-extremists – now you understand what is the difference between real refugees and yours islamic criminals send by merkel and putin ?
whole this situation is generated by deal between 3 criminals country: usa russia germany – against Ukraine
Look at the world! The presidents and the pope are USELESS! Europeans and Americans are selfish and depressed! PEOPLE are dying. WE DON’T NEED SPEECH. WE NEED ACTION to stop the war.
LEARN FROM WORLD WAR 2! Innocent CIVILIANS were just useless cockroaches for these EGOISTIC BLIND PATRIOTS~! WE DON’T NEED ANOTHER HERO! WE NEED PROGRESS and OPPORTUNITIES! Depression and poverty can cause WAR!
Why should Ukrainians return to Ukraine, Poland is now a developed country and is part of NATO, the country is beautiful and has more modern infrastructures and the unemployment level in Poland was second lowest in the EU this is according to the Eurostat. Also, both the Polish and Ukrainian languages are Slavic with a similar culture, and Before World War II, Western Ukraine was part of Poland, but was divided, so adapting to Polish culture would not be very difficult. If you were to ask me, I think Kiev should reunite with Poland they would be stronger together.
Bring them here to America. All of them. And the same for refugees from Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen.
Time to react now the world!
Wake up!!
Agression must be stop with force!!!
If you’re not willing to fight you deserve to be enslaved.
But they won’t let Nigerian women and children leave
Repent and turn to God before it’s too late
Stop scaremongering inflating “possible” numbers of refugees. Do your job and report the facts.
Stand your ground and fight for your country and you children’s future in Ukraine 🇺🇦
Poland has to take care of so many Ukrainian refugees now. Thus, it is very important to continue to keep those stranded refugees/migrants, who have been staying in the Polish-Belarusian border for many months, outside Poland.
…and Usa instead of trying to help solving the problem in one day they are sending weapons….how will sending weapons help??? Anybody…
Putin let stop right now
THIS FALLS ON THE DEMOCRATS OBIDENS
prepare….we have to be nice with our brothers and sister from any where in the world!!!
Ukrainians and Russians have the same English accent.
