Thousands of Ukrainians are fleeing from war by crossing their borders to the west in search of safety. They left their country as Russia pounded their capital and other cities with airstrikes for a second day on Friday. Cars were backed up for several kilometers (miles) at some border crossings as authorities in Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova mobilized to receive them, offering them shelter, food and legal help.  (AP Photo/Aurel Obreja)

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last week prompted officials, including U.S. Ambassador to Moldova Kent Logsdon, to raise concerns that Moldova could also become a Russian target.
