KABUL, 07 March 2022, (TON): Officials at the Afghan embassy in Poland say that so far, 3,000 Afghans have entered Poland since the Ukraine war.

The embassy’s diplomats say that in cooperation with the Polish border police, they will issue travel documents for other Afghans detained in Ukraine after they have been identified.

Sayed Ismail Yousefi, an Afghan envoy in Poland said “according to statistics provided by the Polish Foreign Ministry two days ago, more than 3,000 of our compatriots were able to enter Poland, and these numbers are changing because a large number of people still cross the border and return to Poland every day.”

According to statistics, more than 5,000 Afghan refugees were living in Ukraine, most of them young people who had gone to study in the country, but as the conflict intensified in the country, the families of these students in Afghanistan urged the Islamic Emirate to try to move them to a safe place.

Qasm Khan, the father said “Ehsanullah has crossed from Ukraine to Poland, but my other son Siddiqullah is trapped in Ukraine.”

Mohammad Arsalah Kharwati, deputy minister for refugees and returnees said “based on the information we have available so far, Afghans have not encountered any particular problems that have harmed them.”
