Ukraine ambassador rejects PM's claim about refugees

Ukraine's ambassador to Poland, Andriy Deshchytsia, referred to a claim by Prime Minister Beata Szydło, who said at a debate in the European Parliament that Poland has accepted around a million refugees from Ukraine, saying that they were not refugees, but "economic migrants." "Taking into account the number of visas in previous years, and the dynamics of the near-border movement, I suspect that over the course of a year there could be up to a million Ukrainians on Polish territory," Deshchytsia told the Polish Press Agency. "But they are not refugees. They should be called economic migrants." According to Reuters, which quotes government data, Poland has granted a refugee status to three Ukrainians and has given some kind of protection to to around 200 more.
