Almost 4 million people were forced to leave Ukraine as an effect of the Russian aggression on the 24th of February 2022. Europe faces war and the biggest refugees crisis in the world this century.
Anna Radwan is the Founder and Director of In Europa, a pro-European think tank in Warsaw.
Poland has taken in more than 2 000 000 refugees from Ukraine. The Polish authorities have declared their support for the refugees, and the scale of civic support is enormous. Many recognize that Polish humanitarian help is so enormous that deserves to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
In the first wave, refugees benefit from a vast network of private support, from individuals, local governments, and NGOs. The network of private connections that provides refugees with assistance in the form of transport, accommodation, and medical care is working well. Certainly, the next waves of refugees will require structural support from the state.
