The inspectorate noted that the center had been deployed on February 24, 2022. Since then, it has processed over 9,200 refugees from Ukraine and hosted more than 6,200. The stable and safe erations at the camp were ensured by migration inspectors, carabineers, and rescuers.

"From the first days of the war in Ukraine, refugees received help here. Pele were accommodated, offered food, medical care, and assistance in settling in Mdova," the General Inspectorate noted.
