Hrebenne is amazing in its ordinary nature. No refugees, no chaos, no heartbreaking
circumstances that fed the imagination of Poles 11 months ago. Routinely working
border crossing checkpoint, between Ukraine and Poland. The awareness that a brutal
conflict is raging on in the East is not aligned with the sight of trucks, going in both
directions. Fully loaded trucks will accompany me until Donbas - as the surroundings
changed by the war go by outside the window, this will become almost surreal.
Many people have left the country. But a lot of them stayed. They want to eat, drink,
and live, said, smiling, a Ukrainian border patrol officer who got used to the unusual
nature of the war.
