Rakušan: Returned Ukrainian refugees could come back before winter

The Czech minister of the interior, Vít Rakušan, says Ukrainian refugees who previously received temporary visas but then went home could return to European Union countries before the winter. Speaking after he and other Czech cabinet members visited Kyiv on Monday, Mr. Rakušan said around 4.3 million Ukraine refugees had come to the EU after Russia launched a war on their country. Of that number about one-fifth have since gone back to Ukraine.

Czechia has to date granted over 450,000 temporary visas to Ukrainians and about 20 percent have returned home, he said.
