The eastern city of Rzeszow is at the forefront of the military logistics system supplying the Ukrainian army. The city hosted 100,000 Ukrainian refugees at the height of the humanitarian crisis in April 2022.

It was the first in the world to be awarded the title of "Saving City" by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. "Until now, the city had never seen so many nationalities on its soil," says the director of the Manoir Ostoya hotel, Karina Guzek-Buk.
