French Minister Delegate for Citizenship Marlène Schiappasaid an estimated 5,000 Ukrainians have so far arrived in France; with more arriving every day.
“We have close to 5,000 people from Ukraine who have arrived in France.
It’s a current estimate; every day, we have new arrivals,” she said in an interview with French broadcaster France info Tuesday.
Schiappa said that every Ukrainian in need of accommodation would receive it in France; but she added that Ukrainians were not collectively being granted refugee status; as many hope to return to their country.
Instead, they are being offered a “temporary; immediate status” with the same guarantees of protection as refugee status, she said; adding that this will also offer recipients access to schooling and financial and medical support.
She also announced a “refugee sponsorship system” via a new platform. The site parrainage.refugies.info will allow French households to host a Ukrainian family with the support of nongovernmental organizations.
