(ANS - Czerwińsk) – The flow of refugees who daily cross the border between Ukraine and Poland has slowed down in recent days: those who were able to escape from the most exposed areas have mostly already done so, while those who remained did so by choice or for lack of alternatives. However, following the foreseeable scenarios of war, the team coordinating Salesian activities in all the territories involved is preparing for a possible second wave, which seems more likely every moment.

(ANS - Bacău) - A new bud is about to blossom along the flourishing Salesian branch of Bacău: the Salesian Primary School "Don Bosco" shall open its doors to the first 22 young students of the preparatory class starting in September. The new school, on whose preparation the Salesians have been working for some time, will open a new field of service on the part of the Sons of Don Bosco, and it is hoped that it shall give way to a wider range of formation in the field of formal education: the dream of the Salesians, in fact, is to be able to give birth, in the near future, to the successive school levels.

(ANS - Lviv) - A few days into the second month of an absurd war, the emergency is gradually becoming a daily occurrence for the many Salesians and many more displaced Ukrainians welcomed in Salesian works in Ukraine and neighboring countries. For some time now, their bewilderment has given way to other feelings: resignation, anger, frustration... and for many the time has now come to make room for a positive attitude, commitment and collaboration. It happens especially to the youngest.

(ANS - Lviv) - The invasion of Ukraine and bombing have now lasted for 57 days and the conflict has already caused more than 11.3 million refugees, of which more than 4.3 million are refugees in neighboring countries. The priority for the Salesians continues to be the care of minors, some of whom are orphans, and of the many women and elderly people fleeing the war. To all of them, the Sons of Don Bosco continue to offer emergency aid, psychological, moral, and spiritual attention, and education.

(ANS - Rome) - Young people, as we know, are the first concern for Salesians: at all times, in all places, in all circumstances. All the more so when they are in danger, like during a war. That's why girls like Nastia or Dasha are welcome and housed today in Salesian centers in Poland and Spain after fleeing Ukraine.

(ANS - Warsaw) - According to the most up-to-date data from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, more than 4.6 million people have fled from Ukraine to neighboring countries since February 24, the date the war began. Another 6.5 million people are internally displaced within Ukraine, and an estimated 13 million people are stranded in conflict-affected areas or unable to move.
