Poland admits that another wave of refugees from Ukraine is likely to arrive if Russian forces escalate
Poland's Deputy Foreign Minister Andrzej Szejna said this in an interview with Rzeczpospolita.
"We cannot exclude that the Russian offensive will lead to a shift in the front to the West and will cause millions of additional Ukrainians, mostly women and children, to arrive in Poland," the diplomat said.
He noted that a new wave of refugees could become a burden for Poland, but the country would not refuse to provide asylum to those fleeing the war.
"This would be a huge burden for our country, and Polish society should be ready for it. We have to be positive about it," said Szejna.
- EU countries have approved the extension of temporary protection for refugees from Ukraine until March 2025.
- According to Eurostat, as of the end of November 2023, 4.27 million Ukrainian citizens were granted temporary protection in the EU. Germany (1,235,960 people; 28.9% of the EU total), Poland (955,110; 22.3%) and the Czech Republic (369,330; 8.6%) received the largest number of Ukrainian refugees.
