As Ukrainians flee, 'we even feel a bit guilty we are OK'

As exhausted refugees stream out of Ukraine to look for a new home abroad, many are now grappling with the pain of leaving their war-battered homeland

MEDYKA, Poland -- Walking the 14 miles to Ukraine's border and to safety, Ludmila Sokol was moved by the mounds of clothes and other personal effects that many others discarded as they fled the fighting before her.

“You should have seen things scattered along the road,” said the gym teacher from Zaporizhzhia.“Because the farther you carry things, the harder it is."

Sokol has now found shelter in Paris. And like countless others, she’s now grappling with the pain of leaving her war-battered homeland.

It hurts to leave everything behind, she said. She's found a home with her former gymnastics coach, a “second mother” whom she first met as a child. “I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, but the only thing I know is that everything will be fine because Victoria Andreevna is nearby.”
