DHAKA, 27 February 2022, (TON): About 150 Bangladeshis have entered Poland from Ukraine over the last two days, fleeing the Russian invasion of Ukraine that began on February 24.
Two officials of the Bangladesh embassy in Warsaw told that several hundred Bangladeshis were waiting in the cold in long queues on the other side of the border to get into Poland.
An official of the embassy, which also oversees diplomatic relations with Ukraine, said "it is expected that Poland will be prioritising their own citizens and Ukrainians at the border. There is a long queue as thousands of people are fleeing Ukraine.”
A team from the embassy is working at the Ukraine-Poland border to provide consular services to Bangladeshis. Two other teams, one from Italy and the other from Germany, were on the way to the border.
The officials said “the Bangladesh embassy and the Polish government are jointly arranging accommodation for those arriving in Poland.”
