Visiting Poland, Ukraine border: Russian invasion inspiring acts of compassion, courage

Having traveled the world leading medical mission trips, I have never seen a larger, more efficient and impactful humanitarian rescue than what I and nine fellow U.S. senators witnessed at the Ukraine-Poland border.

My trust and confidence in Ukraine’s neighboring nations was not the only thing confirmed and bolstered on this trip. 

Just miles away, these refugees experienced the worst of humanity. All the refugees we met, mostly moms and young children, told stories of war-torn homes and communities. They shared accounts of the deafening sounds of bombing, the never-ending ring of air raid sirens, and cries of their frightened children.
