Ukrainian refugee camp in Mexico’s capital to close
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Organizers of a camp for Ukrainian refugees who had traveled to Mexico say they will soon close it and discouraged Ukrainians still in Europe from traveling to Mexico as they try to enter the United States. Vlad Fedoryshyn, director of United with Ukraine, a nongovernmental organization that collaborated with the Mexican government to establish the camp, said Tuesday that some 1,000 Ukrainians passed through the camp during the month that it was open on the east side of Mexico City. Now, only about 120 remain and 98% of those already have sponsors lined up in the United States and expect to soon travel there.
