As the Ukraine-Russia war enters its fourth year, the number of refugees has declined compared to the early stages of the conflict, leading to reduced demand for shelters near the Poland-Ukraine border. Hope Shelter in Przemyśl, founded in 2022, is one of the few remaining short-term refuges in the area. Operated by 10–15 unpaid volunteers working long hours, the shelter supports up to 50 refugees weekly despite dwindling resources.
