After fleeing Irpin, they began a chaotic journey looking for safety before arriving in the mountain community of Volovets. Oksana tells NBC News&#8217; Molly Hunter about their difficult ordeal, and its toll on her two young daughters. She says her family felt blessed to spend time in Volovets, saying it was &#8220;like you came to your mother&#8217;s house.&#8221; Volovets is a small community in the Carpathian Mountains \u2013 a region that has been a refuge for people fleeing war for centuries. No one really knows how many Ukrainians have arrived seeking safety from the war. Helena Yavorska, a schoolteacher, tells us how the town is doing everything they can to help the newcomers, even putting beds into some of their classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bb Subscribe to NBC News: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/nbcnews.to\/SubscribeToNBC\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/nbcnews.to\/SubscribeToNBC<\/a><br \/>\n\u00bb Watch more NBC video: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/MoreNBCNews\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/MoreNBCNews<\/a><\/p>\n<p>NBC News Digital is a collection of innovative and powerful news brands that deliver compelling, diverse and engaging news stories.
