Germany received 50,294 Ukrainian refugees, since the start of the Russian offensive on Ukraine, according to German Press Agency DPA.
“Because there are no restrictions at the borders, the number of refugees who have entered Germany could increase even further,” a spokesperson for the German Interior Ministry said Monday in Berlin, according to the same source.
As of yesterday, the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) said the number of people fleeing the Russian military intervention in Ukraine exceeded 1.5 million in only 10 days.
The UNHCR stated “this is the fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II,” in a Tweet to its official account.
“In the coming days millions more will be uprooted, unless there is an immediate end to this senseless conflict,” the UN organization added in the same tweet.
Additionally, Italy is home to the largest Ukrainian community in the European Union, as it has taken in nearly 10,000 refugees since the start of the Russian military operations in Ukraine, ANSA, Italian news agency, reported on Monday.
According to Italy’s Ministry of the Interior data, the country can expect a flood of at least 800,000 Ukrainians, the agency reported, indicating that the government is “ready” to receive more.
