Kyiv resident fearful as Russian troops advance: 'It's tragic'

Ukrainian Anastasiia M tells ‘America’s Newsroom’ that she lives ‘from siren to siren’ while taking shelter in Kyiv.

Amid the ongoing Russian attacks on Ukraine that began on Feb. 24, 2022, scores of desperate Ukrainians have been continuing to flee for their lives. 

Most of those fleeing are mothers, children and infants. 

These families have been making their way to neighboring countries such as Poland, Moldova, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia. 

RUSSIA INVADES UKRAINE: LIVE UPDATES

Yet even with the grimness and ghastliness of war, gestures of hope and kindness are shining brightly for refugees who are crossing the border into these countries.

In a show of great thoughtfulness, for example, mothers in Poland have been donating fully outfitted baby strollers and leaving them at the train station in Przemysl. 

Warm blankets and other items the Ukrainian children may need are stuffed into the carriages and strollers left at train stations.

These are intended for the Ukrainian moms with young children to pick up as they arrive with little or nothing in the way of practical supplies from their home country.

In a startling image taken by photographer Francesco Malavolta and shared with Fox News Digital on Monday, a row of strollers is shown placed on the platform of a Polish train station.
