As Ukraine’s violent conflict with Russia enters its ninth month, the US has welcomed 163,000 Ukrainians since late March, according to the US Department of Homeland Security.
According to information released to Bloomberg News on Thursday by the Department of Homeland Security, President Joe Biden has also agreed to temporarily relocate 36,000 Ukrainians to the United States in the upcoming months.
She said that the US government would be willing to accept even more Ukrainians.
The amount of money the US contributes to the relocation of Ukrainians displaced by the war is rather little.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, more than 7.4 million people have left the nation for nearby countries in Europe, making the war one of the greatest displacement crises in history.
Approximately 6,000 civilians perished between Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and September 25th, according to the United Nations.
Biden introduced a fast-track last April to allow Ukrainians to reside and work in the US for two years.
Additionally, it enables sponsors with US addresses to request funding for Ukrainians. Since last April, around 142,000 Americans and NGOs have offered to sponsor Ukrainians, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Since late March, America has welcomed 163,000 Ukrainians who have fled the fighting.
