UPDATE ON UKRAINE #7 Ukraine at War

The ancient Golden Gate of Kyiv is what people entered Kyiv by in the 11th century. About that time Kyiv became the capitol of Kievan Rus as it was called. The gate was modeled after the Golden Gate of Constantinople. Many have seen the restored gate when they visit Kyiv. But today, sadly, people are not going into but out of the city. Because of the war they are trying to get to a safe place far away from here or in another country.

Our family is out of Ukraine now in in a safe place. But the Russian army is still pounding Kyiv hoping it will fall so that a new government can be put in place.

Many are fleeing to Moldova, Hungary, and other places. They often leave spouses behind to fight. By train, bus, car, or walking is how they travel. There currently are about one million refugees. But that could grow to million people. Most trains are packed beyond capacity and some don’t even bother to charge. People are desperate.
