My 2 wk old son sleeps on my lap in our car as we pass 18 hours in near stationary queue for the Polish border. We have got about halfway through. Once we arrive in Pl my wife needs to go through a convoluted visa application for UK. Disgusting.#UkraineWar #Home Office #Visa

My wife is Ukrainian and I’m a uk citizen- both children have uk citizenship. But the Uk government absolutely refuses to make the process easier for my wife to get a visa. When we finally get the visa and eventually get to uk I will be publicly shaming uk government

They are heartless bunch and have shown zero compassion for my family or for any Ukrainian refugees.

Now 27 hours in this line. More to go. Filled with the unnecessary uncertainty of getting my wife into my home country. Is the UK really so heartless.

We made it into Poland last night. 38 hours in the queue.
We are overwhelmed by the support we have received here on social media. Thank you everyone for showing compassion, whether in comforting words or offers (there have been many) of help.

We are the lucky ones. Spare a thought for those thousands who are still in that queue, and many other lines from Moldova to Poland. I didn’t see anyone lose it, no fights, no selfishness but a sense of all being in it together.
Ukrainians are an example for the world to follow.

I imagine you have all worked that out by now. They appear to be built differently from the rest of us. Yara, our 3 year old, should be a model for children everywhere. She kept a smile on her face almost the whole time and never really complained. Clearly takes after her mother
