Two weeks ago, on Nov. 22, I found myself at a border crossing checkpoint in the small Romanian city of Radauti, where some 800,000 refugees from nearby Ukraine, mainly women and children, have sought refuge from Vladimir Putin’s onslaught. There were already several inches of snow on the ground as winter took hold. Why was I there?
