DISPATCHES FROM<br />
UKRAINE<br />
Maranie Staab, a regular contributor to SDN<br />
and <strong>ZEKE</strong>, and last featured for her photos<br />
from the January 6 insurrection at the U.S.<br />
Capitol, is now reporting from Chisinau,<br />
Moldova and nearby towns in Ukraine<br />
documenting the largest refugee migration in<br />
Europe since WWII.<br />
Above: A group of Ukrainians eat a dinner<br />
prepared by World Central Kitchen partner<br />
Cafeneaua din Gratiesti while staying at Biserica<br />
Isus Salvatorul, a church in Chisinau, Moldova<br />
hosting approximately 50 Ukrainian refugees.<br />
Top Right: “Right before this happened I was shopping<br />
for my prom dress; it’s my final year of school<br />
and life was good, life felt normal. Now I’m on<br />
a bus talking to you with only this small bag and<br />
we’re running away—we left everything behind.”<br />
Alioa, 17, fled Mykolaiv, Ukraine with her<br />
three siblings and mother. They are among the<br />
now 2.3 million people who have left Ukraine in<br />
just the past two weeks, a number expected to<br />
grow as Russia continues its indiscriminate and<br />
targeted attacks on cities and civilians.<br />
Middle: Sunshine quickly turned to snow showers<br />
as hundreds of people stood at the Palanca<br />
border crossing with their suitcases and pets.<br />
Moldovans and aid organizations are working<br />
hard to provide for the ongoing flood of people<br />
fleeing Ukraine, but the need is overwhelming<br />
and expected to grow.<br />
Bottom: Leeza, age 10, offers a smile while waiting<br />
in freezing temperatures to board a bus that<br />
will evacuate her and others from the besieged<br />
city of Mykolaiv, Ukraine on March 10, <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
