As a flood of Ukrainian refugees fleeing a Russian invasion pours over the borders into neighboring nations, the people bring with them harrowing stories of hardship
Poland - which has the largest Ukrainian community in Central Europe - has received more than 1 million Ukrainian refugees since the conflict began on Feb. 24, with the milestone passed late on Sunday.
"I just want to live in peace and in freedom. And I hope that here it will be possible," the 20-year-old from Lviv told Reuters.Central Europeans, whose memories of Moscow's dominance after World War Two run deep, continued to show support for their eastern neighbours. "We have food for them, there will be lots of kids who are very small so we will have to change nappies, etc," Przemek Macholak, 25, deputy head of crisis response at Happy Kids, a Polish non-governmental organisation, told Reuters.
"Just two days ago we had a transport of 700 kids," Macholak said. "It's not easy to find a place for anybody but its even tougher to find a place for 700 kids in the same one place."
