My friends with the whole family, with newborn kids and pets, lived at the subway station for more than month

March 24 , Kharkiv.

my friends with the whole family, with newborn kids and pets, lived at the subway station for more than month. They cooked on the platform and slept in the train cars. They wrote to me that they were feeling very lethargic and physically exhausted, and they were planning to flee to Budapest because the little children couldn't take it anymore. I don’t know where they are now, there is no connection with them, but I know that they finally left Kharkiv.
