There are currently about 28,000 Ukrainian refugees in the Republic of Cyprus, which in relation to the population is one of the highest figures in the world, noted the newly appointed Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Cyprus to Ukraine, Michalis Firillas.
"We understand that the war has forced many Ukrainians to leave their homes. Cyprus has become a safe haven for them, and we are proud to be able to support them," Firillas said during a meeting with a representative of the Interfax-Ukraine agency.
According to him, Ukrainian refugees in Cyprus have access to free medical care, can use the state education system, and also receive support in employment and social benefits. "Our government is doing everything to ensure that the integration of Ukrainians into the life of Cyprus occurs as quickly and comfortably as possible," Firillas emphasized.
He noted that Cyprus will continue to support Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, providing both humanitarian aid and political support in the international arena.
