Many Ukrainians got buses to Prague on Friday due to the fact that its route went through the less frequented Hungarian border. They left the country before the general mobilization began. In Prague’s Florence, for example, a girl with a boyfriend and a small child was already waiting for her father.

“We do not need remorse, we need help. My daughter, my grandson, has come here now, so I can pack up and go to Ukraine, “said Yevgeny Grybovsky.

He has already received the summons, only he hopes that when he changes into his uniform, he will have something to fight with. “I don’t understand that the world is just watching,” Grybovsky added.

On the contrary, Lucie Janečková went to Ukraine with only two blankets in her suitcase on Friday. And that’s when she found out that her friend was going there for relatives.

“The information for me was: Look, those mothers and children just gather there, whoever you can, just come,” Janečková said.

She has already managed to provide accommodation and work for families in the Czech Republic. “It simply came to our notice then. I myself am the daughter of refugees, so it probably has better value for me, “Janečková said. She left Prague and thought she could be back on Saturday.

People have no way to get to the border

According to Oldřich Dvořák, who was at the border crossing in western Ukraine on Friday morning, the road will not be so fast. “I would like to load at least four or five people, but it still runs into the problem that these people have no way to get here from Ukraine. She’s just scared. Nobody knows when a rocket may arrive somewhere, “Dvořák described.

In addition, some gas stations in its vicinity are closed. They ran out of gas and diesel.
