War in Ukraine: Poland: 35,000 refugees from Ukraine arrived

Within 24 hours, tens of thousands of refugees crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border towards Poland. According to Polish information, these are mainly women with children.

According to the government, tens of thousands of refugees from Ukraine have arrived in Poland so far.

“In the past 24 hours, 35,000 people have crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border towards Poland,” Deputy Interior Minister Pawel Szefernaker told the public broadcaster TVP.

According to him, it is mainly women with children and men of non-military age. Long traffic jams have formed on the Ukrainian side of the border. The processing of refugees there is also slowing down because the war situation is causing failures in the computer system of the Ukrainian border guard, Szefernaker said. Poland is able to handle up to 50,000 refugees from Ukraine at the border every day.

According to a reporter from the German Press Agency, refugees at the Medyka-Schehyni border crossing reported hours of waiting on the Ukrainian side, including for people who wanted to cross the border on foot.
