Almost 800,000 refugees from Ukraine have already arrived in Poland, and a huge relief operation is underway in the country. US Secretary of State Blinken thanks and praises.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken thanked Poland for its commitment within NATO and for taking in hundreds of thousands of refugees from Ukraine.
Poland has shown generosity, leadership and determination at this moment of crisis for millions of people, when the security balance in Europe is threatened, said Blinken on Saturday in Rzeszow after a meeting with his Polish counterpart Zbigniew Rau.
Since the start of the Russian attack on Ukraine, Poland has taken in more than 787,000 refugees from the neighboring country, according to its border guard. On Friday alone, 106,400 people had crossed the border. A huge aid campaign by the authorities and private initiatives for the refugees has started across the country.
Poland’s Foreign Minister Rau called on Russia to stop attacks on civilians. Both sides must comply with humanitarian law. “Due to its own painful experiences, Poland will consistently demand the prosecution of war crimes,” Rau said. Poland will set up a center to document war crimes in Ukraine and is counting on US support for this project.
