REFUGEES

The Romanian Border Police announced that on the 25th June, 12,570 Ukrainian nationals (down 2.6% since the previous day) crossed the border into Romania. Since Ukraine’s invasion by the Russian army on the 24th February, until midnight Saturday, Romania received 1,324,823 Ukrainian citizens. Of them, 80,000 chose to stay in Romania and benefit from the protection and safety provided by the Romanian authorities, the PM Nicolae Ciucă said. The government of Romania came up with a national protection and inclusion plan addressing the Ukrainian nationals that benefit from temporary protection. The plan includes children’s access to education and access to jobs for the adults.
