Ukraine refugee crisis: “millions may flee West” - BBC News

Refugee agencies are warning that millions of Ukrainians could be on the move, fleeing to neighbouring countries to escape the Russian invasion.

Many thousands have already reached the border, with chaotic scenes as people try to cross to safety.

Most are heading for Poland where reception centres have been set up at the border.

Martine Croxall presents News at Ten reporting by Fergal Keane in west Ukraine, Mark Lowen on the Polish border and Lucy Williamson in Moldova.

I was 8 years old when war started in Bosnia. This give me the pain and a big stress. Hoping that peace will come fast.

In Poland we try to help as much as possible. But the situation is absolutely tragic, there has been 100 thousand refugees just yesterday. My heart is breaking, we cry everyday. If you think it doesn't concern you, you are wrong. Those people are just like you and me and we can be next.

I can't imagine having to pack everything that you can, having to move away far from home with the possibility that you might never see it again

[lukaszsuchodolski]

I'm from south-eastern Poland. hour by hour more and more refugees are crossing the border to find shelter here. the situation is really hard as hell. we are trying to help them as much as we can. It is our duty. we used to go through it ourselves. We are crying when we see these people escaping the war. this world is sick....
