WARSAW – Poland has taken in nearly 4.27 million refugees fleeing Russia’s attack of Ukraine, the Polish Border Guard agency reported on Thursday.
“Since February 24, a total of 4,265,000 people have crossed into Poland from Ukraine,” it said in a tweet.
On Wednesday, around 26,300 refugees from Ukraine arrived in the country, compared with 23,800 a day earlier, according to the Polish Border Guard.
Poland in March enacted a measure to offer wide-ranging support to Ukrainians escaping the Russian attack of their country, which began on February 24.
The measure grants them residence rights and ensures access to education, healthcare and social benefits.
Nine in 10 Poles are in favor of accepting refugees from Ukraine, according to a survey.
