What is the status of Ukrainian refugees in Turkey?

Over 35,000 Ukrainians have been granted refugee status in Turkey according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. This provides them with legal protection and assistance as they cope with the challenges of displacement.

Countries are responding variably; some continue to extend protection and support, like Bulgaria and Poland, while others, like Hungary, have limited aid due to policy changes. The potential end of the conflict poses challenges for consistent international refugee policies.
