Poland and Germany should ask the European Union for more help in dealing with an expected increase in Ukrainian refugees during the winter, the Polish president said on Monday.

"I believe that we should turn to the European Community so that there is financial support for our countries, which bear a particular burden in connection with taking in refugees from Ukraine," Andrzej Duda said during a press conference in Berlin.
