US to accept up to 100,000 Ukrainian refugees, provide more aid

Al Jazeera  

President Joe Biden says US ‘has an obligation’ to respond to refugee crisis spurred by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The United States will take in up to 100,000 Ukrainian refugees, the White House has announced, as more than 3.5 million people have fled the country amid Russia’s continuing bombardment. In its statement on Thursday, the White House said among the first Ukrainian refugees coming to the US will be those who already have family in the country. The White House said it would use “the full range of legal pathways”, including the refugee resettlement programme, for Ukrainians seeking to come to the US. The White House said the US has deployed a 25-person emergency response team to the region to coordinate the delivery of aid with the UN, NGOs, and the Ukrainian government, while the UN’s World Food Programme is trying to deliver food and supplies to 3.1 million people inside Ukraine.
