For the first time since the start of the war in Ukraine, more people came to the country from Poland than left.
More and more people are returning – either to visit relatives or to return home.
Data from the Polish Border Service show that 22,000 people crossed into Ukraine on Saturday, while 19,200 left.
Some return to see the family, perhaps for just a few days, and stay close to the border before returning.
Others are returning home and say they will stay, despite warnings from officials such as Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, who said it was not yet safe to return to the city.
According to the UN, millions of people have fled Ukraine since the start of the war, but more than 650,000 have already fled Poland.
