Amoakohene Ababio Williams, 26, originally from Ghana, says he was separated from his Ukrainian wife, Sattennik Airapetryan, 27, and their one-year-old son, Kyle Richard, along with other Black men, just before reaching the Polish border after fleeing Odesa. “I was thinking, that’s all. Maybe I will not see her again.” He made it.
Iryna Novikova, 42, left Kyiv with her daughter on a moment’s notice—without changing clothes, brushing her teeth, or showering. “In such a moment you need none of that. I don’t know how I ran; my legs just carried me.” Her daughter had told her the attack was coming, but “I just couldn’t believe it.”

Iryna Butenko, 33, and daughter Kateryna Falchenko, eight, fled Kharkiv in a panic. When a train finally appeared, says Iryna, “we ran while they were shooting from behind.” She does not want to go back, ever. Katya feels safe now: “No one is shooting or threatening us. My mom is always near me.”

Ludmyla Kuchebko, 72, from Zhytomyr has left the air-raid sirens behind but worries for her son in Kyiv. Looking to God to “save not only my son, but Ukraine,” she prays for every passenger on every train. “Today we pray not only for Ukraine—we pray for Russia, for our brothers and sisters there.”
