Over 23,000 Ukrainians have received permission to enter the United States as part of the new program of the administration of President Joseph Biden for Ukrainian refugees, CNN reports.
“According to the US Department of Homeland Security, more than 23,000 Ukrainians have received permission to enter the United States under the new program,” the statement said.
The TV channel notes that 6,000 of them have already arrived in the United States.
The Biden administration had previously pledged to accept up to 100,000 Ukrainians.
Earlier in April, US President Joseph Biden announced the “Uniting for Ukraine” program for accepting refugees from Ukraine, which will speed up their relocation to American territory. The program provides an opportunity for accelerated migration from Europe to the US to Ukrainians who have an American “sponsor”, such as a family or an NGO, ready to deal with them.
