Unicef has supported around 250,000 Ukrainians since April at its five Blue Dot sites in Poland and is to open two more. More Ukrainian refugees are expected to flee their country this winter
A new surge of refugees will flee Ukraine this winter, Unicef warned tonight.
The children’s charity is preparing for up to 800,000 people to cross into Poland to escape freezing temperatures and power blackouts following bombing ordered by Vladimir Putin.
Recent Russian drone strikes on infrastructure have left millions without light, heat and water.
Ukrainians were told today they face six-hour scheduled blackouts as bombed equipment is repaired.
