Spain is already helping Ukrainians here. The first families who escaped the war on their own have arrived, and there are also people who have been caught in our country by the Russian invasion. This is the case of 11 children, accompanied by three adults, who carried out sports activities in El Tiemblo, in Ávila. A town of just over 4,000 inhabitants has turned to them. “If they need socks or milk, the neighbors bring it“, assured Henar González.
The first night of war, this group of people was welcomed by Tatiana, a Ukrainian who has been living in Spain for 15 years. Although they are already installed in the municipal shelter, they go to eat at her house every day. The war also surprised Anastasia, a Ukrainian, doing tourism in Barcelona. “We want to go back, but we can’t,” she told laSexta. She is now housed in a hostel in Comarrugain Tarragona.
There already sleep another 58 people who were passing through Catalonia. Yulia’s family has also suffered from this problem. Her daughter studies in Barcelona and arrived on the 23rd to visit her. “I woke up on the 24th with very harsh messages from my mother.” On her part, in Guissona, Lleida, Mariana’s sister-in-law has arrived with her three nephews escaping barbarism. She has been in Spain since 2001 and now she sees with horror what is happening in her country.
“My brother, who only has a little free moment, tries, when he can, contact us“, he recounted. Everyone counts the days for this crisis to end and to be able to hug their families again.
