During the global event, Mateusz Morawiecki will outline the situation of Ukrainian war refugees in Poland and the needs of people displaced by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, officials told reporters.
“The webinar is designed to explore how global companies can support refugees in the medium and long term,” according to the Polish government spokesman, Piotr Müller.

Poland welcomes 3 million war refugees
