Refugees

 

Photo "A family travels in their artillery-damaged car in the city of Kherson, Ukraine" from the WSJ Wednesday March 15. Anyone recognize the make of car? Was it still running or is the photo a setup?
Christian Borys is a Canadian journalist whom I have worked with, and who spent several years based in Ukraine. From his Saint Javelin website:
"Saint Javelin is a social enterprise started on Feb 16th 2022 by journalist Christian Borys to raise funds to support Ukrainians, just as the humanitarian crisis began. Concerned about the escalation at the Ukrainian Russian border and with family and friends in harms way, Christian wanted to help fundraise to support them.
"Christian has very strong ties and ancestral roots to Ukraine and Poland and spent 5 years working as a journalist based in Kyiv with BBC, VICE News, CBC, and others.
"From an initial goal of $500, Saint Javelin has surpassed $2M in contributions from our sales, and we have no plans to stop our work. We now have a new mission statement. We are in business to re-build Ukraine."
