PRZEMYŚL GŁÓWNY (PRZEMYSL RAILWAY STATION)
Since Russian invasion in 24. February of 2022 more than 2 millions of people escaped Ukraine, about 3/4 of them to Poland. The only one open passenger rail border crossing is Przemyśl. This medium size city now is open to more than 12 trains full of people every day. Every train contains more than 2 thousand of people, despite of having only thousands of places inside. The route between Lviv and Przemyśl two weeks ago was possible to do in about two hours, now it's more like 24 or even 40. All of that because of electricity shortages, air raids and many other problems.
Families waiting for security check after leaving the train.
Those who are already in Poland waiting for their relatives.
For those whose doesn't have a family or friends in Poland they can stay in temporary camps, one of them is located close to railway station, in closed shopping mall. They can find there a place to stay for a longer period of time, transport to the other cities and countries, food and a new clothes.
And after all that, most of them are returning to voyage. A voyage to a new start.
Слава Україні! Slava Ukraini!
