Germany has asked Poland to suspend the dispatch of special trains with Ukrainian refugees as the country cannot process the influx of people, Pavel Shefernaker, Polish deputy interior and administration minister, said on Monday.
“The German Federal Ministry of the Interior contacted us last night, asking if we could suspend the special trains to Germany, because of a ‘chokepoint’ which occurred there,” Shefernaker told Polish broadcaster TVN.
The Polish deputy minister went on to say that this situation showed ill-preparedness of the European Union, adding that over the last three days, about 28,000 Ukrainian refugees left Warsaw, Krakow and Katowice on special trains, while 1.5 million migrants remain in the country.
