Pope invites Poles to celebrate Easter with Ukrainian refugees

Greeting Polish pilgrims gathered in the Paul VI Hall for the weekly General Audience, Pope Francis noted that many Polish nationals are approaching Easter as the war in neighbouring Ukraine continues to rage.

Poland has opened its doors to more than 2.5 million Ukrainian refugees since the Russian invasion on 24 February.  

Over 300,000 Ukrainians, of which 100,000 are children, have found refuge in Warsaw alone. Authorities and civil society organizations are engaged in providing the support they need to continue their lives, and already 15,000 Ukrainian refugees are enrolled in Polish schools.
