Ukrainian refugees to shelter in Poland

The number of Ukrainians who want to shelter in Poland is growing. In Ukraine itself there are 140 thousand displace people. They migrate to other, safe Ukrainian areas, from the ones under constant warfare. 15 thousand come from Crimea and 125 thousand from the eastern parts of Ukraine, Anna Roztocka, manager from the International Organization for Migration, told Polish Radio. However, a part of Ukrainians decide to acquire the refugee status in the neighboring countries such as Poland, but not every application receives a positive answer. Ukrainians who come to Poland use different ways of migration, e.g. join their Polish families or find jobs in Poland. The country issues over 200,000 special declarations which allow Ukrainians to work in Poland for the period of six months. Most of the beneficiaries desire now to extend the duration of their stay.
