More than 150,000 refugees have fled Ukraine this week, according to the United Nations, with many heading toward Polish border crossings.
Ukrainians have tried to escape by train, by car and by foot as Russian forces close in on major cities, including Kyiv, the capital, and Kharkiv, in the northeast. Some have wound up in mileslong traffic jams or long lines at customs, and others have fled by train to cities like Przemysl, Poland, near the border.
In the Polish village of Medyka, Ukrainians waited for relatives to cross the border and reach them. The village of Korczowa opened to pedestrian traffic on Saturday, offering another window to escaping civilians.
In Korczowa, Lidia Gaszewska-Baran and Heorhii Veselov, who work at a bakery in Poznan, Poland, gave away food and hygienic items to migrants who made it through the crossing.
