300,000 Ukrainian refugees have arrived in Warsaw since the war began and the Polish health system faces managing a million and a half new patients.

Is it time for a relocation system for Ukrainian refugees?

And is international support now needed?

Newsnight’s Policy Editor Lewis Goodall reports from Poland.

In the first of a series of special programmes, Kirsty Wark is live from Warsaw and speaks to the city’s mayor, Rafał Trzaskowski.

This film was produced by Maria Polachowska and filmed by Luke Winsbury.
