Ukraine Families Say Goodbye As Men Stay To Fight: Photos
Equal Russian missiles hit their town and tanks rolled through their streets, many Ukrainians were forced to leave their homeland.
In an exodus unprecedented in recent European history, more than 1.2 million Ukrainians have sought shelter in neighboring countries since the Russian invasion began last week, High Commissioner UN refugee Filippo Grandi said on Friday.
