After leaving Afghanistan a year ago, Ajmal Rahmani thought he had found a haven of peace in Ukraine.
But this week, he must take his family on the road to escape again, this time to the rumble of Russian artillery shells to leave, ready to go to Poland.
Ramani told AFP shortly after entering Poland: "I dodged a war, fled to a country, and another war started, with bad luck."
As Ramani spoke to reporters, her 7-year-old daughter, Marwa, stood by, hugging her beige toy dog.
With Mawa, his wife Mina, and their 11-year-old son Omar, the Ramani family traveled thousands of miles, and the last 30 kilometers were even on foot. After some tossing, the family finally arrived at the border crossing of Medyka, Poland, where they and other refugees waited for a bus to the neighboring city of Przemysl.
This battle has been fought for 4 days. Hundreds of thousands of people have entered Poland, Hungary, Romania, and other countries to escape the flames. Most of the refugees are Ukrainians, but there are also students from Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, India, Nepal, and other places. and migrant workers.
Ramani, in his 40s, said he worked for NATO at Kabul airport in Afghanistan for 18 years, but was threatened after the U.S. evacuation four months ago because he was too worried about the safety of his children to let him. The child goes to school and finally decides to escape from his hometown.
Before that, Ramani said, "I lived happily in Afghanistan, with my own house, my own car, and a good salary."
Ramani said that to escape Afghanistan, "I sold my car, my house, all my belongings, and I have nothing", but "nothing is more important than my love and the life of my family".
It took him a long time to get a visa to leave Afghanistan, and he decided to come to Ukraine because he was the only place to accept him. The family finally settled in Odessa, a port city on the Black Sea, but another war came to them.
Four days ago, Russia began to invade Ukraine, and the Ramani family left everything behind again and trekked 1,100 kilometers to the border.
Polish authorities say nearly 213,000 people have entered Poland from Ukraine since the 24th. Like other refugees, the Ramani family, who did not have a Polish visa, now has 15 days to register, but with the number of refugees, it is impossible to complete the registration in such a short period of time.
Ramani said he felt the future was bleak, but he was encouraged by the warmth of the volunteers and Polish border officials assisting refugees. "They gave me strength."

Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 27th ordered domestic nuclear deterrence forces to enter a state of high alert, indicating that Russia's relations with Western countries on the Ukraine issue have become increasingly tense.
What nuclear weapons does Russia have?
Russia has deployed more than 1,500 nuclear warheads and has a stockpile of nearly 3,000, according to an assessment published by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Russia has invested heavily in developing a variety of ways to use nuclear warheads, including land-based ballistic missiles that can reach the continental United States, submarine-launched missiles, and air-delivered bombs and missiles.
Has Putin threatened to use nuclear weapons?
Putin has not made it clear that he raised the alert level of the nuclear force on February 27th but has not yet reached the highest level. Putin previously warned that countries supporting Ukraine could face "unprecedented consequences".
What other countries have nuclear weapons?
The United States, France, and the United Kingdom are the major nuclear-armed powers in the West. China has also built a nuclear arsenal. India, Pakistan, and North Korea also possess nuclear weapons. Israel is also widely believed to have nuclear weapons, but it has never been proven. The countries with the largest stockpiles of nuclear warheads are the United States and Russia, followed by China. These countries usually claim nuclear weapons on the grounds that they deter attacks from other countries.
Has the United States deployed defenses against Russian nuclear weapons?
The United States has invested heavily in mastering the ability to shoot down nuclear-capable ballistic missiles. However, test success rates for these systems have been uneven, and Russian nuclear weapons can easily overwhelm them.
Have nuclear weapons been used in past wars?
Yes. At the end of World War II, the United States dropped nuclear bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The United States was the only country with nuclear weapons at the time. Most modern nuclear warheads are far more destructive than those used against Japan at the time.

The United Nations refugee agency said on February 27 that 368,000 Ukrainians had fled their homes after Russia sent troops to attack Ukraine. Many of them fled to neighboring countries such as Romania, Poland, Hungary, Moldova, and Slovakia.
People from all over the world have reached out to help, such as Romanian government officials at the country's border, sending donations across the country to displaced Ukrainians. Stefan Mandachi, a 36-year-old local businessman, transformed the grand ballroom of the hotel he owns into a refugee reception center and provided free private rooms for Ukrainians to live in. Dozens of mattresses lay on the floor of the banquet hall, donated clothes are stacked high, and children run around the room.
Mandach, who also provides free food to Ukrainian refugees from the fast-food chain he runs, feels responsible for reaching out: "There are people around me who speak Ukrainian, and we are united to help them."
Vasiliu Radu, a 34-year-old emergency service worker at the Romanian border, also said that he was proud of his fellow countrymen for volunteers across the country: "Now the situation is unstable, and everyone has to help each other."
Viktoriya Smishchkyk, a 38-year-old Ukrainian woman, was sitting with her teenage daughter in the lobby of a hotel hosting refugees in northern Romania, tearfully recounting the escape: "I could hear the fighting outside. It's scary. We left all our belongings, they're not as important as a child's life."
In the southeastern Polish city of Przemysl, just a few kilometers from the Ukrainian border, hundreds of people were waiting in the parking lot to help Ukrainian refugees fleeing by bus.
Moldova, which borders Ukraine, also sees an influx of Ukrainian refugees. Authorities say 70,080 Ukrainians have entered the small country of about 3.5 million people since February 24.

Moldovan President Maia Sandu visited the country's northern border on February 27. She thanked the volunteers for their service and called for calm and vigilance. "In these difficult days, I am proud of our citizens, who showed solidarity and humanitarianism, and reached out to our neighbors when they needed help," Sandu said.
