Reuters reports:
People fleeing war in Ukraine poured into central Europe on Sunday, with queues at border crossings stretching back for kilometers on the fourth day of a Russian invasion that has pushed nearly 400,000 people to seek safety abroad.
With men of conscription age prevented from leaving Ukraine, it is mostly women and children arriving at the border in eastern Poland, Slovakia and Hungary and in northern and northeastern Romania.
Some 368,000 people have fled abroad from the fighting in Ukraine, the U.N. refugee agency said on Sunday, citing data provided by national authorities. Just under half have gone to Poland.

Awful times, beautiful people. Thousands of Romanians drove to the border with Ukraine to pick up refugees and offer them a ride and a place to stay. Queues on one side to escape, queues on the other to help. #StandWithUkraine pic.twitter.com/a1q5RzQxca

This is how #Poland is welcoming refugees from #Ukraine at train stations – with food, water, clothes, cars, accommodations, medical and psychological help. It’s not government funded- these are people spending own money and time. Everyone who gets on trains – all skin colours. pic.twitter.com/FjUBceNfdh
