Poland has accepted the largest number of Ukrainian refugees out of all the war-torn country's neighbors. It's estimated around half a million have fled across the border. But there are reports of Polish border guards separating the refugees into white and non-white groups.

"How far did the Ukrainian refugees travel to Poland?
They fled Kharkiv in east Ukraine under ferocious bombing, travelled 1000km (621 miles) west, and walked the last 12 hours by foot to Poland in the snow."
