Breaking News: U.S. Deports Dozens to War-Torn Ukraine Amid Escalating Conflict
The U.S. has deported 50 migrants to Ukraine this week, in what appears to be the single largest such deportation since the country's war with Russia began. The flight landed near the Polish border in the early hours of Monday.
The immediate impact of this deportation is uncertain, but it marks a significant increase in the number of Ukrainians being sent back to their war-torn country. Since Russia's invasion in 2022, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has deported 105 Ukrainians in total.
Background context shows that the Trump administration originally wanted to send 80 people on the flight, according to Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S. Olha Stefanishyna. This deportation is part of a larger trend of increased deportations of Ukrainians who have fled their country due to the ongoing conflict.
The current status of these deportees is unclear, and it is unknown how they will be received in Ukraine. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has not released any further information on the matter.
This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
