17 March 2022, Siret, Romania: A young boy chases a pigeon at the Vama Siret border crossing, Romania. Located north of Siret and further in the south the city of Suceava, the crossing connects Romania with the Ukrainian village of Terebleche and further north the city of Chernivtsi. Following the Russia's invasion of Ukraine starting on 24 February 2022, more than two million refugees have fled across the Ukrainian border into Romania. According to the UNHCR, more than 8 million refugees from Ukraine have fled the war across Europe by February 2023.
