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.

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.

(We Chinese in America Media Editor Tang Zhao, February 27, 2022). The Chechen special forces sent by Russian President Putin to Ukraine to hunt for Ukrainian President Zelensky were annihilated by the Ukrainian army on the 26th. Their 56 combat vehicles were destroyed near Hostomel, northeast of Kiev. Bombed to pieces, the Ukrainian army killed Magomed Tushaev, the second-largest Chechen army figure, known as the "King of War".
The Russian military's aggression against Ukraine has been hit hard. The armed group, known for its brutal violence and human rights abuses, is said to have been destroyed by Ukrainian missiles the day after it reached Ukraine. Hundreds of people died.
Among those killed was Tushayev, commander of the 141st Mobile National Guard, an elite unit of Chechen head of state Ramzan Kadyrov.
Tusayev was also photographed with Kadyrov, showing his importance to the Chechen regime, which has gained notoriety in the West for hunting down, torturing and killing homosexuals. (Magomed Tushaev (left) - Image taken from twitter)
Kadyrov is said to have even visited this elite unit in the Ukrainian forest.
This dealt a huge psychological blow to Putin's conquest of Ukraine. Russia sent this group to capture or kill Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, knowing that the fighters' reputation for brutality would further fear the beleaguered Ukrainians.
Each fighter was given a stack of cards with pictures of the Ukrainian officials they were hunting. But Zelensky is still standing, and he has become a global hero.
