We must leave! How a family from Dnipro fled the war in Ukraine (photo story) | Ukraine and Ukrainians: a view from Europe | DW

Fleeing from the war – from the Dnieper in a car with four children

Gasoline in a can was carried by hand to the car

In a car at a gas station, where there is gasoline, they are allowed to fill no more than 20 liters, for which you have to stand up to five hours. We are almost at zero near Uman – through acquaintances we found a local guy who said that he would help with gasoline and take us through the fields through the villages again to the highway, but much further. Take a chance? Terrible and scary, but we went after him. The guy saved us.
