Long before the ferry from Poland arrived at Verköhamnen in Karlskrona on Monday evening, Nina Stålstierna from Stockholm was on site.
- I'm waiting for my sister's daughter-in-law Lena Kurchenko and her two children.
It feels absolutely wonderful that they are coming.
There has been a lot of longing and worry, she says.
Nina Stålstierna says that several family members are left in the country, without the opportunity to escape.
- I have my eldest son and his family left.
And Lena has her husband and parents left.
So it's very hard.
They live in hell there, she says.
