I was contacted by two wikipedians from Ukraine which I know personally with questions about the situation at Polish border and what documents they need to enter. I just answered them + gave my private phone number, but till then I haven't heard from them, so they either decided to stay or are still trying to get to the border. One of them is from Kiev and one from Lviv. Bear in mind that at the moment, there are around 1 million Ukrainians queing at the border on the Ukrainian side, and Poland is able to accept around 100 000 per day.
I guess - if the substantial number of Ukrainian Wikipedias manage to reach Polish border - some sort of help from WMF would be very appreciated - but at the moment I guess not too much real help can be done.
