I got a text from the two young men today. They made it to Lviv, from Krakow, and were appreciative of the help from so many to ensure they got there safely. I also got a call from their Dad, my friend Alex, who is proud, relieved and still scared…it’s not exactly the Ukraine he knows right now. I can’t imagine how I’d feel if my boys (or my girls) were over there. (i know my wife would be going out of her mind!).
The boys brought 7 duffle bags of medical supplies with them, which will surely be appreciated. Now I will keep an eye on the Ukrainian Weekly to see if they get some of their reports on the state of the country in to ‘print.’
Of course the next challenge will be to get them back out of Ukraine. They are now looking at alternatives to the route they took to get in, thinking that Slovakia or Moldova might make an easier escape than the Polish border.
Slava Ukraini!
