“We understand that the war has forced many Ukrainians to leave their homes. Cyprus has become a safe haven for them, and we are proud to be able to support them,” Firillas said during a meeting with a representative of the Interfax-Ukraine agency.
According to him, Ukrainian refugees in Cyprus have access to free medical care, can use the public education system, and also receive support with employment and social benefits. “Our government is doing everything to make the integration of Ukrainians into life in Cyprus as fast and as comfortable as possible,” Firillas stressed.
He emphasized that Cyprus will continue to support Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, providing both humanitarian aid and political support on the international stage.
