Over 81,000 Ukrainian refugees have been registered by the Czech migration police at assistance centres set up for that purpose in all the country’s regions. The total number of special visas handed out to Ukrainians reached more than 142,000 on Saturday, the Minister of the Interior said.

There are now around 200,000 refugees from Russia’s war on Ukraine in the Czech Republic. The Czech News Agency said that state’s standard accommodation capacity was becoming exhausted and some people have been accommodated in sports halls in Prague and Brno.
