(FOX NEWS) – The U.S. will welcome up to 100,000 Ukrainians and others seeking to escape from Russia’s invasion, and will impose new sanctions on Russian individuals and companies, the White House said.
According to senior administration officials, the Biden administration is looking into multiple methods for those fleeing Ukraine to enter the U.S., including the refugee admissions program, as well as parole and immigrant and non-immigrant visas.
The officials said that President Biden’s cap of 125,000 refugees for Fiscal Year 2022 remains in effect, but that those who enter via processes other than the refugee program will not count toward that total.
“We don’t currently envision the need to go beyond that in terms of the portion of the individuals that would come in as refugees during this fiscal year,” they said.
