As reported by the spokesman of the Catholic University of Lublin, students-refugees will be able to use the scientific, didactic and social infrastructure (dormitories).  Details are currently being agreed between the authorities of the Catholic University of Lublin and the Ministry.

Currently, the University Students’ Council of the Catholic University of Lublin actively participates in supporting Ukrainian students.  Not only for those who study at our university - this has been happening for several days as a result of the appeal of the Rector's Collegium, but also in real support for those who study at universities in Ukraine. The members of the Council operate in cooperation with the Students' Parliament of the Republic of Poland, which is in constant and close contact with its Ukrainian counterpart.

On Thursday, the 24th February, the Russian Federation launched a military invasion of Ukraine, and Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the commencement of an armed operation.  In Ukraine, all major cities are under attack. There are first casualties among soldiers and civilians.  The Ukrainian authorities appeal to the international community for immediate sanctions against Russia and to stop its assault on the country.
