The head of the Ministry of Transport of Germany ruled out limiting the number of Ukrainian refugees

At the same time, the minister notedthat the number of Ukrainians arriving in Germany from Poland by train has decreased by more than three times compared to the peak at the beginning of hostilities

Germany will not limit the number of Ukrainian refugees arriving in the country, German Minister of Transport and Digital Infrastructure Volker Wissing said in an interview with RND.

“There is no such question. Germany cannot and will not refuse refugees from Ukraine,” he said, answering a relevant question.

According to him, about 120,000 Ukrainians fled to Poland every day at the peak, and Warsaw alone received more than 300,000 refugees. From Poland to Germany by train they get through Hannover, Cottbus and Berlin. Now the number of Ukrainians arriving in Germany by train has decreased compared to the peak at the beginning of hostilities from about 8.2 thousand to 2.5 thousand people a day, he said.

According to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, as of April 8, since the start of the military operation, more than 4.3 million Ukrainians have left the country, another 7.1 million have been forced to leave their homes and move to other regions. Most of all came to Poland - more than 2.5 million people since the beginning of the Russian military operation.

Later, German and Polish interior ministers Nancy Feser and Mariusz Kaminsky asked the European Commission to review the distribution of refugees by country and provide additional financial assistance to Berlin and Warsaw, pointing to insufficient resources to cope with the influx of people. Feser and Kaminsky, in particular, proposed that the EC pay €1,000 at a time from EU funds to each arriving refugee.
