For now, the key word here is the old anti-communist slogan solidarnosc, or solidarity. This sports center in the village of Wieliszew, an hour from Warsaw, has become a center for aid donations from across Europe.

Mayor Pawel Kownacki is grateful for the response to his appeal for help.

How afraid are you that this war is going to spill over into Poland?

Pawel Kownacki, Mayor of Wieliszew, Poland: So, all the time, I say to my wife, don't be afraid, because she's afraid a lot. But if I have to be honest, I am afraid.

So I can feel that the next move of the Putin and the evil people will be next countries. So, that's why we have to support Ukrainians just to focus to stop this Russian army, and if we can't just send them weapons, so we have to send them food. We have to support the families.
