Gintare Gnedojute, a Lithuanian nurse, has rented a bus to help transport children and families from war zones in Ukraine to Lithuania.
Transporting one bus full of children and families can take between four and five days due to long lines of people trying to cross the Ukrainian border and the logistics of traveling through combat areas with a large group of people, she told Fox News Digital.

Jewish charities aid Ukrainians from all walks of life in Russia's war
Ukrainians from all walks of life are seeking shelter from the violence, and many Jewish charities have stepped up to help.
The endeavor comes amid the uproar over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s stated goal to "de-Nazify" the Ukraine's government — a suggestion observers have scoffed at, especially since its president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is Jewish.
"We are people of faith, and it is of critical importance that we turn to God in prayer at this moment of upheaval for the world order," said Rabbi Moshe Hauer, executive vice president of the Orthodox Union (OU), one of the largest Orthodox Jewish organizations in the United States. "We pray for peace, and specifically that God endow the leaders of the free world the courage and wisdom to act decisively to prevent further destruction."
The OU has raised over $1 million so far, and its affiliated synagogues have raised millions more to help Ukrainians in their hour of need. The aid, Hauer explained, is going to Jewish and non-Jewish people alike.

Chernobyl under siege in Ukraine war: Russians holding more than 200 employees hostage
More than 200 workers have been working at gunpoint since Russian soldiers seized the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) on Feb. 24. Overnight shift employees who were supposed to work only for 12 hours have been running operations at the plant for two weeks.
Among the nuclear engineers there is Natalia Ruemmele's 63-year-old father.
"Basically, the power plant is held by people who have no clue about the nuclear security protocols," Ruemmele told Fox News via Zoom from Munich, Germany.
For more than 40 hours now, the power has been cut off at the NPP, leaving facilities on reserve diesel generators that "have a 48-hour capacity," according to transmission system operator Ukrenergo.
