For much of last week I was reporting from the Polish-Ukrainian border and I’m actually writing to you from Poland now. I’ve reported around the world on any number of astonishing and heartbreaking stories, both in my legal career and while making TV documentaries. In that time, I’ve seen too many instances of man’s inhumanity to man. But it’s still been extraordinary (there are many other words) to be here and observe the consequences of this terrible conflict — one where the difference between right and wrong is so clearly drawn.
I stood in PrzemyÅl’s station — the first stop between Ukraine and Poland — and watched the trains arrive. Less than a month ago, this was an ordinary journey with an easy border crossing. But now, that same train carries wave upon wave of desperate refugees, scrambling toward safety. It was humbling to see those crowds — mothers and babies, the elderly, the sick and the shattered — facing an unknown future.
