Sviatoslav Shevchuk expressed his gratitude during a news conference in Warsaw on Wednesday, public broadcaster Polish Radio's IAR news agency reported.
The head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) said that although "Ukraine is no longer the talk of the media," Poland and its people "keep helping Ukraine, maintain solidarity with us."
Describing the impact of the war, Shevchuk told reporters that since Russia's February 2022 invasion, 14 million Ukrainians have fled their homes, according to the latest surveys.
"Six million have crossed into the European Union, and the biggest group, some 2 million, are staying in Poland," he said.
The archbishop added that the refugees were mainly women and children, and some 47 percent "are planning to stay where they are in the immediate future."
Shevchuk also said that "thanks to assistance from across the world," everyone fleeing the Russian invasion "has been provided with food and shelter."
The head of Ukraine's Greek Catholic Church warned that Russia was gearing up for renewed attacks on Ukraine's energy facilities, after destroying 60 percent of Ukraine's infrastructure last winter.
Shevchuk told reporters: "We can see that Russia is exporting war worldwide."
The religious leader added that the Israel-Hamas conflict in the Middle East "is linked to Russia," which he described as "an exporter of blood, fire and weapons to the entire world," Polish state news agency PAP reported.
Wednesday is day 630 of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, launching the largest military campaign in Europe since World War II.
