In a premiere for ‘Despierta América’, Jorge Ramos was with the Ukrainian refugees in Poland, minutes from reaching the dividing line with Ukraine to report, in first person, everything that happens there.
After 4 planes and 6 hours by road, Jorge Ramos arrived at the Polish train station closest to Ukraine, and where the refugees enter not only by train, but also on foot.
“There are many journalists and many humanitarian foundations that try to help Ukrainians… The train station is full of people fleeing from Ukraine, and others looking for friends or family,” the Mexican journalist began reporting for the show of the tomorrow from Univision.
Together with Satcha Pretto, Karla Martínez and Alan Tacher, who had the task of accompanying Ramos in this coverage from the Miami studios, Jorge walked among the people who still do not understand why they are experiencing this horror.
“It is This is a true humanitarian tragedy where half a million Ukrainians have left and surely many more will do so“, a moved Jorge Ramos continued, and without being indifferent to the pain, despite all the great tragedies he has reported in the past.
Satcha asked him about the help received by those who flee from Ukraine, from those who receive it in Poland, to which Ramos said:
“The great wonder is when one finds that human side, there is enormous solidarity, the problem is that the truth is that at this time solidarity is not enough, the intensification of the war is what is being felt, humanitarian aid is very necessary, but it is not enough”, he recounted as a harsh reality.
Karla and Alan asked him about the children and what was the feeling that was perceived, whether of hope or anguish. Ramos, walking among the people and trying to show, as best he could, what was happening on the platform, replied: “We are reaching the worst moment, things are not improving, Kiev has been besieged, while things get worse in Ukraine, this is going to continue to get worse“.
Before saying goodbye, in these first moments of his arrival at the dividing line, Jorge Ramos shared an anecdote he had just experienced with Carlota Sarcos-Delgado, the youngest daughter of her partner Chiquinquirá Delgado.
“ I was talking to Carlota, Chiqui’s daughter, and she was asking me about the dogs, the cats, what happens to the pets, and we are seeing entire families, and the pets stay in the Ukraine”.
Ramos, who we have seen in thousands of coverages, in thousands of borders, natural disasters, attacks and was even arrested and then deported from Venezuela, will be in charge of coverage from the situation field for TelevisaUnivision.
