Description
epa09848509 (07/29) Ukrainian refugee Olga (R) looks on as Jenia (C) hands a passport back from the border police check at the Ungheni border crossing between Moldova and Romania, Ungheni, Moldova, 16 March 2022. The traffic at the border crossing is moving relatively quickly, raising hopes that it will not be long before they are allowed into the EU. But a border police officer then comes onto the bus to collect passports, and the waiting starts. Some passengers get off for a smoke while others go looking for the bathroom as the bus creeps along at a snail’s pace. After a nearly six-hour wait, the passports are returned. Some 73 Ukrainians, women, children, and a few men fled the conflict mostly from the southern Ukraine area, boarded the bus organized by the Be An Angle German NGO, to travel to safety in Germany. The NGO arranged for them to be taken to various locations in Germany where they would have the temporary asylum status and receive assistance for lodging for a while until the conflict ends or they find a longer-term solution.
