Dear, Ukrainians.

When we, in the West, say "we're standing with you", it's euphemistic. The bombs aren't falling on us. Throw down the wooden rifles and run westward. To the hills, not the cities. Do not go where everyone else is going, spread out. Hide. Get underground.

Your president has a nice bomb shelter, and an escape tunnel, too. Don't stay just because he's staying.
No Hungary. The Ukrainians in the western regions are a tough lot who hate Russians with a passion. Although the man who historically was responsible for some of their misery was not even Russian. The Russians suffered as much. The USSR was led for most of its existence by non-Russians...Stalin, Breshnev and Krushchev.
