"In Kyiv we stayed overnight at a hotel before boarding a Ukrainian Railways train to Kishinev (Chisinau). When we arrived at Kyiv station, an air raid siren went off and the police started rushing people to the shelter. I said to an officer that we would miss our train if we went to the shelter, and he allowed us to go to the platform. The train was there. It departed on time. Our Sleeper car and compartment were what I expected. There were two beds with a table in between. The train arrived in Kishinev as scheduled.
