More than 2.2 million people have fled Ukraine to Poland since the war began, the Polish Border Guard has said, BBC reports. 

Numbers crossing the border have been falling in recent days, but Thursday saw a slight increase with 32,500 making the journey, up 7.4% from Wednesday, the agency wrote on Twitter.

By 06:00 GMT on Friday, 6,900 had crossed - that’s up 1.7% from the same period on Thursday.

Maciej Duszczyk, a professor of migration research at Warsaw University, estimates around 1.2-1.3 million refugees remain in Poland.
