Polish PM Mateusz Morawiecki posted on Facebook that “We have to halt this tragedy unfolding in the East as quickly as possible.”
All three PMs are from nearby NATO countries. Refugees from Ukraine number over 1 million. The leaders also fear that they might be next. And the world is wondering if Russia would stop if he defeated Ukraine.
36-hour curfew due to Russian bombardment
Fiala, Morawiecki, and Slovenian PM Janez Jansa took the risky journey, as the bombardment continued. It is hoped that the 36-hour curfew will reduce civilian casualties.
Many of the citizens of Kyiv are spending nights sheltering in underground stations. And some of the Russian strikes have hit several suburbs of the capital city. And it is estimated that nearly half of its 3.5-million pre-war population has fled the Russian bombs.
Ukraine’s capital has been nearly encircled by Moscow’s troops in the third week of the invasion.
Kyiv mayor Klitschko is also part of the citizen army in the Kyiv area. Like most Ukrainians (including President Zelensky and past President Petro Poroshenko) they fight to defend their country.
