The Social Insurance Board (SKA) has expanded its info point at Tallinn Bus Station in order to better assist war refugees from Ukraine arriving in Estonia and at the bus station itself in particular. The capital's main bus station has received massive numbers of refugees arriving by bus particularly from the eastern border in recent months.
Two months after ERR News first reported about increasing numbers of refugees from Ukraine arriving in Estonia from Russia, and nearly three weeks after the Social Insurance Board (SKA) was supposed to open an info point for incoming refugees in Narva, the agency finally did open one 50 kilometers away, in Jõhvi.
