According to very accurate reports on the situation at the border crossings, which were prepared by our Warsaw headquarters, the most difficult situation at the moment is at the crossing point in Kroscienko. This is where we will be working today. The location we were at last night is now being taken care of by brave scouts. However, there are no longer as many pedestrians there as there were yesterday, and the crossing itself takes them less than an hour.
We have however received many requests for help from mothers with children on the Ukrainian side of the Krościenko crossing. They need warmth, because the clothes in which they have been standing for hours in a queue of over 700 people are already soaked.

The queue of cars to the crossing point already stretches for more than 30 kilometres.
We have just arrived and are entering Ukraine. We did it again! Keep your fingers crossed!
