first but as it took us so long to go. essentially we kept changing where, you know, which border to cross through because it seemed like there was, you know, these attacks coming behind news every city around us. we would try to go around major cities and avoid bombing as much as we could. steve: surely. eugene, did you want to leave because as an american you felt like you would be a target or because the u.s. embassy said hey get out as soon as you can? why did you go? well, the it was a combination of choices. you know, at the time, you know, like i said, we needed to make a quick decision. and, you know, i didn t really know what to expect. and my wife was kind of pushing me to go as i said and our friends. we just made our way. and as we were driving, i thought perhaps the best way i can be effective is to use my, you know, social media followers and to bring as much exposure to what s happening, you know, as much as i can. and then as soon as we crossed
the border, you know, we thought, okay. the best way we can help now is to help other refugees who are crossing and they have not have a place to stay. that s kind of what we are focused on now together my wife and our friends and my company. steve: i understand that you have been contacted by people throughout europe saying hey, eugene, we have a place in such a such a city if somebody wants to use that can you help connect us, essentially you have become airbnb for ukrainian evacuation. honestly, it s incredible how many people reached out and offering their home every country in europe and the u.s. saying if anyone needs a place to stay please, you know, keep us in mind. so that s kind of what we are focused on. my wife also made an announcement she has a large following of ukrainians, specifically. whenever somebody crosses the border and doesn t have a place to go. i essentially kind of make an announcement or reach tout people who have reached tout me
in private and try to connect them and just doing as best we can to help others. steve: absolutely. i think you probably are doing a lot of that by telling your story. and you are trying to make facilities available for people who are on the run. eugene, thank you very much for joining us live today from hungary. thank you, appreciate it. steve: all right. exactly 2:00 in ukraine. this is the second hour of fox & friends.
