Poland's Border Guard service says the number of refugees entering the country from Ukraine since Russia launched its unprovoked attack has crossed the 2 million mark, more than the population of the capital, Warsaw.
The Border Guard service said in a tweet on March 18 that the number of people crossing into the country each day continues to drop, with just over 52,000 entering over the previous 24 hours.
It added that another 7,100 had entered the country by 7 a.m. on March 18.
"They are mostly women with children. The guards are the first Poles to help them after crossing the border. Often times, mere words of support mean the most," the Border Guard said.
More than 3 million people have so far fled the fighting in Ukraine, according to the United Nations.
It is not clear how many refugees have remained in Poland, as many are thought to have traveled onward to third countries.
Russia launched its unprovoked attack on Ukraine on February 24.
