People crowded into a train station in the Ukrainian city of Chop, near the Hungarian and Slovakian border, on the night of February 27 and into the early hours of February 28.

Footage by Instagram user @lescoups shows people packed into the train station on Sunday night into Monday. The source told Storyful she had previously tried to flee Ukraine via Lviv but could not get on a train. By Monday morning, she had still not been able to board a train out of Ukraine.

Reports citing authorities said almost 400,000 people were seeking safety abroad after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24. Credit: lescoups via Storyful
