Millions of Ukrainian refugees have fled the war in their country by making their way over the border into Poland. Two men with Massachusetts ties are in Poland this week, doing what they can to make life a little easier for those who may have lost everything to war.

He spoke with WBZ's Laurie Kirby about his plans, and their conversation is on this week's show.
