Ukrainian citizens who fled the conflict after the Russian invasion can now go to Germany without the need to purchase tickets. the Polish State Railway company PKP has announced it will be offering free tickets to Ukrainians traveling through Germany.

The company has stated that Ukrainians can now travel for free in second class on the daily nine trains which connect Poland's cities of Warsaw, Przemysl, and Gdynia to the German capital Berlin and Frankfurt, visaoperations.com reports.

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014, European nations have opened their homes to many refugees fleeing conflict, particularly its neighboring countries: Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova, and Romania.

The authorities in Poland have revealed that as of the 24th of February a total of 1.8 million individuals have traveled to Poland from Ukraine While a large portion of them have relocated to different countries, a large portion of them have remained in Poland according to the Polish border guard's report.
