Volunteers across Central Europe sprung into action on Sunday to help Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion, donating mountains of supplies, transporting new arrivals from the border and providing what one official called a "safe second home".
After seeing television images showing Ukrainians waiting to enter the European Union and an uncertain future, Roland Ring, 46, drove nearly four hours on Sunday to the border to offer transport to those travelling to shelters around Hungary.
"I was so angry with myself as it took me such a long time to do something with the family car just parked in the garage," Ring told Reuters in the village of Beregsurany, where the mayor has turned an old mansion into an accommodation centre.
