Three months later Rzeszow's population of nearly 200,000 has swelled, at times as much as 50 per cent, and mayor Konrad Fijolek predicts the city will need new schools and housing to absorb refugees unable or unwilling to return home.
"There is not a single vacant place. We would really need and we will try to build more flats and there is a huge integration process ahead of us." More than six million Ukrainians have fled their country, escaping a Russian invasion that has flattened cities, killed thousands and created Europe's biggest refugee crisis since the end of World War Two.Much of the burden of absorbing the refugees has fallen on Poland, where 1.1 million Ukrainians have registered for a national identification number, according to government data.
"Somehow we have continued to provide for the refugees but for how long I am not sure. I won't chase them away."
