Anyone know how to get out of #Ukraine? I hear there are no flights or trains. Perhaps private shuttle buses or something like that?

Specifically interested in getting from Kropyvnytskyi (Кропивни́цький) to the EU (or at least further west) somehow.

Asking for a family member.

Boosts appreciated.

Thank you to everyone for your boosts and replies. We're grateful for them all. My contact (sister-in-law) is well and sitting tight. The roads sound dangerous and there have been no attacks in her city yet...

Of course that can change any moment so it's good to know what her options are. Her things are packed and she is ready.

Good news! Last night, my sister-in-law arrived safely at our place in Berlin. She ended up traveling from #ukraine via Moldova, Romania and Poland. It was an exhausting journey, but she received a lot of hearfelt help along the way - in particular in #poland.

Thanks again to everyone for all your support!

@iooioio before the war, blablacar was an option, but now I didn't find any rides from Kropyvnytskyi
Also there is volunteer service which tries to help to evacuate, you should file a form

#i1 - Evacuation

Helping civilians in need of finding a car/rideshare/transport to get to safer places with safe co-riders.

@odesa This is exactly what I was hoping for. Many thanks! <3

@odesa Update: She filled in the form shortly after you sent us the link but no response yet. It's been quiet in her city so perhaps there isn't much traffic there right now.

@iooioio this guy is in Romania. He says they are accepting 500k refugees, but he also says there are hundreds of thousands at the border already so I don't know if that's helpful. Might be worth following him since he is relatively close.

@nikster Thanks. These are great resources.

@iooioio What I’ve read so far is that people are walking during hours towards the west. Sometimes they start using a car until they run out of gas.

I have no advice however.

Looking at the map, might be complicated to reach the West right now from that position (if they are still there). I don’t know if it’s best for them to avoid cities and going through countryside, or the other way. And it’s cold out there.

🤞

@iooioio Just saw this: in this tweet, there’s a link to a Telegram channel/message where The Kyiv Independent has posted schedules of evacuation trains leaving today from Kiyv. Don’t know if there are from other places, but might be useful information.

@iooioio напишу українською, ак простіше. Телефонуйте в адміністрацію або на залізничну станцію в вашому місті та дізнавайтесь, коли відходять потяги. Укрзалізниця запускає багато потягів безоплатно до західних областей. Але будь-ласка, не розповсюджуйте цю інформацію ніде в соцмережах і не повідомляйте її там, де про неї можуть дізнатися ті, для кого вона не призначена.
