Irina and her dog Kofi at the border crossing in Medyka, Poland

Irina (34) and Kofi made a long way from Poltava to Poland. She says she struggled with getting Kofi out of the country, since nobody wanted to take such a big dog on a regular train. They had to stay in little passages in between compartments day and night, with freezing temperatures outside. When we meet her, she is waiting for her friends to pick her up on the way to Lithuania, where she hopes to work as an art teacher for children again.

Medyka is the biggest crossing along the Polish-Ukraine border, which has witnessed up to 130,000 people passing from Ukraine daily since 24/2/2022 in the biggest mass flight of the century.
