“We know that the refugees are mainly women and children, and so of key importance will be the family-policy measures made available to Ukrainian citizens,” the official emphasised.
Poland’s Sejm (lower house) on Wednesday approved a plan of assistance to Ukrainians who escape the Russian invasion of their country.
