And the phones are still ringing, more people are coming.

"The university is ready to receive refugees," says the rector of the UB, Prof. Marek Masnyk. "We expect that Ukrainian students who went home for the break between semesters will be able to come back to study with us, although I'm worried about the men, because they're at conscription age and we know what this means in Ukraine. We also expect that those students who will be able to return, will come to us with their families. We want to help them and we will give them any vacant places."

The Ukrainian refugees had a tiring journey, even three days long. Above all, they need peace and rest, but also essentials for everyday life, as they fled from their homes with only hand luggage.
