Since the beginning of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, local government units have played an important role in the relocation process, actively working to help Ukrainian refugees. Thanks to the joint efforts of the government and local authorities, almost 17,000 Ukrainian citizens have already found shelter in institutional accommodation facilities throughout our voivodeship.

– Thank you for all the actions you have taken, your tremendous commitment and exemplary cooperation – says Lower Silesian Voivode Jarosław Obremski. – In addition to typically tourist municipalities such as Karpacz, Szklarska Poręba, Duszniki-Zdrój and Szczawno-Zdrój, the commitment of smaller Lower Silesian municipalities, whose total population does not exceed 7,000, should also be highlighted. These are the municipalities of Walim, Niechlów, Niemcza, Bardo, Złoty Stok and Mirsk.
