We cannot confirm the news independently, but CNN now reporting that Russian missiles have hit Poland, killing two people. Will the North Atlantic Treaty Organization invoke Article 5?
An inspiring story about #UMD alum @AndrewNynka, the editor of two long-running Ukrainian American newspapers, who escaped Ukraine in February and now focuses on covering on the ongoing conflict. https://t.co/yqBroAImxH
@President_Pines Thank you, President Pines! And thank you to the entire University of Maryland community, specifically the Philip Merrill College of Journalism, for all of your support and guidance. Go Terps!
@ichinoy@merrillcollege Thank you, Ira. The Ukrainian people are showing the world their courage, heroism and passion for democracy and freedom. Let us all do whatever we can to support and stand by them.
@ichinoy@merrillcollege@UkrainianWeekly Thank you to The Washington Post for doing what they can to shed more light on this heartbreaking story. Thank you, Ira, for sharing the news.
@ichinoy@merrillcollege@UofMaryland Thank you so much, Ira. I'm safe. I'm now working to ensure our correspondents who remain in Ukraine are also safe. They are extremely brave for continuing to report from Ukraine.
My heartfelt and most sincere kudos to Poland and the Polish people. We just made it to Przemysl and I am in awe of the entire city. We got in just after midnight and it seemed everyone was up, working to welcome and help thousands of Ukrainian refugees fleeing their homeland.
I just got out of Ukraine through the western border to Poland. If anyone needs help or advice on getting people out safely, please reach out to me directly. I may have information that can help you get across the border. Please share this message far and wide.
The situation when we crossed the border last night was dangerous and tense, to say the least. We endured several fights between various groups of people, all of whom were tired, scared, cold and hungry, and had been, like us, standing for more than 25 hours straight.
I am now out of Ukraine. I went through the border crossing in the country’s west and I can say first hand that, as a result, I am very concerned by Ukraine’s ability to handle the looming refugee crisis that is headed it’s way.
