More than four million Ukrainians have entered Romania since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, according to the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Border Police (IGPF).
Most have passed through Romania to get to other places in Europe, but many have stayed, particularly in light of Romania’s well-organized support system for refugees.
According to IGPF, 66,244 people, including 4,681 Ukrainian citizens, entered Romania on Sunday, April 16, alone.
At the border points nationwide on Sunday nearly 138,600 people, Romanian and foreign citizens, were checked both on the way in and on the way out of Romania, as well as more than 30,500 means of transport.
Starting February 10, 2022 (pre-conflict time) 4,000,661 Ukrainian citizens entered Romania, reports Agerpres.
The border police detected 30 illegal acts (16 crimes and 14 misdemeanors) in the areas under their jurisdiction – the crossing points and the green border – committed by both Romanian and foreign citizens.
Assets of a value of more than RON 570,000 were impounded.
Twenty-one foreign citizens who did not meet the conditions provided by the law were denied entry.
Romania government says it spent 500 million euros in aid for Ukrainian refugees
