Number of visas issued to Ukrainian refugees crosses 300,000 mark

The Czech Republic has issued 302,000 humanitarian visas to Ukrainian refugees since the start of the war, according to data released by the Ministry of Interior. The inflow of refugees has slowed and the ministry is now issuing around 2,800 visas a day to newcomers. The vast majority are women and children. The year-long visa gives them health insurance and enables them to work and study in the Czech Republic. They also have the benefit of free accommodation.
