According to this report, Samad and his family were in eastern Afghanistan when fighting escalated across the country in July 2021. Along with his father, mother and two grown up siblings, Samad had come to Kabul and during the evacuation they could manage to go to Ukraine.

 “My family came here for peace. But when they heard fighting would start here… nobody could believe it. That there would be bombing, there would be fighting. But it was real. It was not a dream,” Samad’s father Mohammad told Save the Children.

Though, Save the Children has not provided a confirmed figure of Afghan families in Ukraine.
