When I boarded a train from Krakow to Przemyl, a small Polish town near the border with Ukraine, I expected to face a humanitarian catastrophe caused by a million people fleeing their homes because of the war Was. But what I saw instead was the best of humanity.
As Russia Having started a bloody full-scale war against my country, thousands of Ukrainians have fled by train to this railway station.
There, they are met by a giant banner in front of its entrance, which reads in both Polish and Ukrainian: “You are safe here.”
Inside, dozens of Polish volunteers provide Ukrainian refugees “everything for free,” as another sign says – food, water, clothing, phones with prepaid plans, housing, legal advice.
