Fighting in Ukraine has continued for the fifth day since the Russian army invaded the country, and displaced people and residents of neighboring countries are gathering at the border crossings to help the victims.
In the Polish transit camp near the border, they share the difficult scenes they went through on their way to the place of refuge, attack those they see as the cause of the inferno and express optimistic messages to end the fighting.

"We saw people die on the way," said Charles, a 30-year-old computer science student from Nigeria who studied in Kiev.
He reached the Medica crossing, which is a few miles from the border, at the end of a four-day journey by train, bus and at the end of a 12-hour walk.
Olaf, a curator at the Hamburg Museum in Germany who volunteers and assists displaced persons coming from Ukraine to the town's transit camp, where they receive a large symphony in addition to assistance, says fearlessly what many volunteers are willing to say without quoting: "Putin is an idiot. He is a monster."
He went on to attack: "The president of Russia accuses the Ukrainian government and calls the president of Ukraine a 'Nazi' and the president in general a Jew. How can a Jew be a Nazi? It's so stupid. He's sick and that's why he's so dangerous."
If it does not end, they will fight back.

A mother of two sons aged 5 and 7, an entrepreneur who set up a burning English school in Fidvolchik, and whose husband was a truck driver when the war broke out, told Walla!
Because it "hopes our government will find a way out of this situation."
Today they reunited, when she crossed the border into Poland in a car with the children, and the transit camp in the town of Przemyśl intends to stay here until the rage passes and with teary eyes says she is not afraid to say that if the situation is not resolved they will return to their homeland.
