Very few Donbass (SE Ukraine) refugees can flee to Europe for a number of reasons, however in 2014 when official Kiev started the all out war against Donbass (which had a referendum and with 85% voted for separation from Ukraine) about a million people fled to Russia and received a refugees status there.
A number of Western Ukrainians fled to Poland hoping for better life there, however I've never heard if Poland gave them any refugee status or not.
Yes I know up to million have been accepted as refugees in Mother Russia.
"A number of Western Ukrainians fled to Poland hoping for better life there, however I've never heard if Poland gave them any refugee status or not."
We have some friends in Prawo i Sprawiedliwość - party of Polish Government, so I'll text them and see if they can tell me if these Ukranians are now protected in Poland and I'll let you know.
