The French government said on Friday it expects to receive more people fleeing from Ukraine within the upcoming days, following the Russian offensive.
The coordinator of the interministerial crisis unit (CIC) Joseph Zimet said in the press conference that France will receive 50,000 Ukrainian refugees, and even more, 100,000 people.
France has already received over 7,000 people as of Thursday, according to the Ministry of the Interior’s data.
As of yesterday, the International organization for migration (IOM) said that the number of people who have fled Ukraine reached 2.3 million, of whom over 112,000 are third-country nationals.
Additionally, the UNHCR wrote in a recent Tweet on the same day that this is the fastest-growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War II.
Recently, many European countries started receiving Ukrainian refugees, following the Russian offensive, including Poland, Romania, Italy, and Germany.
