100,000 Ukrainian Refugees Have Crossed Into Poland As Russian Troops Advance

Poland's deputy interior minister said Saturday that 100,000 Ukrainians have fled into Poland since Russia invaded their country.

Poland is expected to be a leading destination for people fleeing the conflict in Ukraine given its long shared border with the country and the fact that there are already 1 million Ukrainians living there.

The Washington Post reported that long lines of cars formed on the Ukrainian side of the border with Poland on Friday.

Russian troops sortied into Kyiv overnight Saturday as their forces closed in around the city, with gunfire and explosions in the central square. The curfew in the city has been extended to between 5 and 8 a.m. The Pentagon believes the Russians are increasingly frustrated by a lack of momentum in northern Ukraine, as the Ukrainian military has been more than what the Russians expected, according to a U.S. defense official. The official said that Ukraine has been hit by more than 250 missile strikes, most of which were short-range missiles. A large apartment building was damaged by a missile strike.

The Polish Border Guard says 100,000 Ukrainian refugees have arrived.

100,000 Ukrainians have arrived in Poland since the beginning of the war.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine could cause a refugee crisis in Europe.
