When asked by CNNs MJ Lee whether the US was prepared to accept Ukrainian refugees, she said:
"We are. But we certainly expect that most if not the majority will want to go to Europe and neighbouring countries. So, we are also working with European countries on what the needs are, where there is capacity. Poland, for example, where we are seeing an increasing flow of refugees over the last 24 hours.

I hope Canada extends the same offer.

"Immigration officials are also prioritizing applications for Ukrainians who want to come to Canada.
Canada's response will be hindered by its limited diplomatic presence in Ukraine. The relocated Canadian embassy in Lviv has closed and its staff have fled Ukraine for neighbouring Poland."

Missed that in the flurry of all the other news I have read today.
Great news.
