Thirty flats in an apartment complex in central Italy will be used to house about a hundred refugees who fled Ukraine. The units were confiscated from an entrepreneur found guilty of financial crimes.

Italian police have reportedly discovered a factory producing counterfeit cigarettes in which ten foreign workers, among them Ukrainian refugees, were exploited.

Germany's transport minister says the government will not set a ceiling on the number of refugees it takes in escaping the war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, a survey showed most Germans were keen to help those who flee.

Fleeing the horrors of war, many of Ukraine's Jewish population have fled to Moldova. From there, the refugees are being picked up by Israeli aid organizations to be flown to safety in Tel Aviv.
