In a heart-warming gesture, Polish citizens leave essentials at border for Ukrainian refugees

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has forced several people to flee the invasion with ‘practically’ nothing.   

In this difficult time, several people in the Polish communities on the border have looked to help the refugees in a heart-warming way.  

These people have filled the area at Przemyśl station, which is the first train stop for refugees, who enter Poland via the Medyka border crossing, with jackets, toys, stuffed animals, strollers, carriers, diapers and even walkers for the elderly.
