I am the poster from yesterday, with coworkers and friends stuck in Ukraine. I woke up to people texting they had to leave their homes and go to shelters at 4am, as there were attacks/explosions. Russian army encircling Kyiv, progressing in other major cities. Men were recruited to army.
Those, who got stuck in Kyiv yesterday due to traffic collapse, could not really leave today – due to constant explosions and Russian army all around the city. It is getting increasingly difficult to flee the country, and those who have started the journey need to be patient as what would usually be an 8hrs drive takes now 25hrs.
If you have anyone in Ukraine, please, urge them to leave, give them a call/send a text, offer them help – money for tickets, find accommodation for them, plan the route for them, fill in ESTA form for them if needed for transfer. Their network signal may be limited, so even small things done by you will have great impact for them.
Ukrainians are very brave to have lasted so long – while abandoned by all paper allies. If you can, put pressure on your governments, wherever you are.
