And there were more than 3 millions Ukrainians who came to our country, some o whom decided to stay here. They now benefit from a set of measures to be able to integrate and to be able to have access to work, to be able to have access to medical assistance and to be able to have access to education, because we are talking about a very large number of children who fled the war in Ukraine," said the Prime Minister at the beginning of the government meeting.
