At Ukrainian Border, Overwhelmed Guards, Volunteers Confront Exodus of Refugees Fleeing War – WSJ

Near them, jam-packed sedans running low on gas inched to a modest checkpoint that ordinarily serves a half dozen people at a time, often day-trippers crossing into the duty-free zone to buy cigarettes.

Inside the checkpoint, two Ukrainian immigration officers have been frantically trying to keep up with one of the fastest exoduses from any country in modern history.

In just a week since the war with Russia began, more than one million refugees have left Ukraine, most headed west into Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Moldova.
