"The queue at the border with Poland is 15 kilometers long. All the
hotels are overcrowded, there is nowhere to stay. We asked a local
resident, a saleswoman in a store, to stay overnight, she sheltered
  our large family. I burst into tears when she said that she would not  
take the money. My little son mutters in a dream ‘I want to go back to
my Kyiv.’"
