The border town of Ukraine and neighboring countries has been turned into a huge refugee camp.

It is also predicted that up to 7 million people may have fled their hometowns to avoid war.

Let's connect our correspondents on the border between Ukraine and Poland.



Correspondent Im Sang-beom, how many Ukrainians now have struggled to cross the border and flee to Poland?



<Reporter>



There are already over 200,000 people.



It is equally painful for those who have already crossed the border and those who have not yet crossed it.



There is no room for even a foot in the train station as refugees are homeless waiting for their families.



Mr. Yarosuava, who has left his hometown of Odessa, is waiting impatiently for his younger brother who escaped late.



[Yaro Suava / Ukrainian Refugee: Her sister left Lviv at 6 in the morning, but the train is coming so slowly that she has no choice but to wait.

She can't even sleep because she's worried.]



Thinking about the future, she's just dazed.



[Yaro Suava / Ukrainian Refugee: Both his father and uncles have already gone to war.

It's such a sad and tragic situation.

(It's hard, isn't it?) It's scary and anxious, and yes.]



A mother waiting for her son, I have no choice but to spend the night with my eyes open.



[Ukrainian refugees: I should sleep here.

How can I sleep comfortably because I am worried about my son?]



He responds with a faint smile to the consolation given by the reporter.



[Yarosuava/Ukrainian refugees: Thank you.

Everything will be fine.]

On the other hand, there are many Ukrainians who want to return to their hometown to protect their country. How is the atmosphere in the country?



<Reporter> The



border is always crowded with evacuees trying to get out.



But in the meantime, there are people who want to go back to Ukraine.



These are Ukrainian youths who have worked in Poland or abroad.



Encouragement and support from neighboring countries are pouring out to these patriotic youths who have come forward to protect their homeland.



[Janiel/Ukrainian living in Poland: You can't just sit in Poland and watch Russia destroy our independence, destroy our city and kill our citizens.]

Finally, our people who stayed in Ukraine Any news?



<Reporter>



As time goes by, it is becoming increasingly difficult to cross the border.



The side of the Polish border, where most refugees flocked, has long turned into a traffic hell.



From Lviv, which is only 70 km away, it often takes several days to arrive.



The Korean Embassy is also guiding those who wish to escape to the Romanian or Hungarian border instead of the Polish route.



There are 48 South Koreans remaining on Ukrainian soil, of which 7 are evacuating to the border.
