Braving frigid temperatures and snow, thousands of refugees fleeing the Russian invasion of Ukraine continued to arrive in Siret, Romania.
Many of them, mostly women, carried crying children, assisted elderly relatives and comforted frightened pets.
As they stepped into Romania, leaving their home country behind, emotions were high.
"My husband, my home, my dog, my cats, my life," said Marya Unhuryan when she was asked what she left behind.
At Ukraine's border with Poland, women and children continued flowing across on a cold Wednesday morning as Russia escalated its attacks in the country's east and moved troops closer to the capital Kyiv.
The refugees crossed at the Medyka border crossing where they were greeted by waiting relatives and friends as they reached safety.
The mass exodus of refugees from Ukraine to the eastern edge of the European Union shows no sign of stopping as they flee Russia's burgeoning war.
The UN estimates that more than 500,000 people have already escaped.
