Ukrainian refugees have flooded into European Union countries in recent days, with about 787,300 people fleeing to Poland and 30,000 to Germany, the authorities in Warsaw and Berlin reported Saturday.
More than 11,000 have also been recorded in Italy, most of them crossing the border with Slovenia, according to the Interior Ministry in Rome.
On Friday alone, 106,400 people entered Poland, the Polish Border Guard said.
