Germany to take 2,500 Ukrainian refugees from Moldova
Germany will take in 2,500 refugees who have fled to Moldova from Ukraine, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said.
More than 270,300 people have crossed into Moldova from Ukraine and around 105,000 of them have stayed.
In Germany, some 109,183 refugees have so far been registered, the interior ministry said on Friday and Germans have offered up to 300,000 private homes to house them.
Moldova is one of the eastern European countries welcoming millions of people who fled Ukraine since Russian forces invaded the country.
UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said, “The number of refugees from Ukraine has reached 2.5 million.
“We also estimate that about two million people are displaced inside Ukraine,” he added.
Moldova currently shelters roughly 105,000 Ukrainian refugees, according to data from the United Nations. More than 1.5 million are in Poland and around 235,000 in Hungary.
