Ukraine: Nigerian student documents ‘discrimination’ he faced fleeing from Kyiv

A Nigerian student has documented the “discrimination” he faced fleeing from Ukraine amid Russia’s attack on the nation.

Speaking from a shelter in Warsaw after reaching Poland, Alexander Somto Orah, 25, recounts his journey out of Kyiv.

Reports have emerged in recent days of non-white residents of Ukraine getting stuck at borders as they attempt to flee.

“Crossing the Ukraine border to Poland was devastating because of the discrimination along the way,” Orah says.
