PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, August 7 (Itar-Tass) - Kamchatka is mobilizing resources to support refugees from Ukraine who will arrive in the far eastern region soon.

A state of emergency is declared on the peninsula in connection with the expected mass arrival of refugees, the governor's press service said on Thursday. The state of emergency will allow using material resources from the region's reserve, including additional funds and necessities. It will be in force until Governor Vladimir Ilyukhin's further notice.

The peninsula is to accommodate 780 people. It is ready to receive 160 people by September 1, Ilyukhin said. "Our task is to provide everything necessary for them when they arrive."

A temporary accommodation centre is set up for Ukrainians in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. They will reside in a hostel, where 30 rooms are already repaired, and other premises are under repair.

Regional authorities are ready to pay compensation to refugees and provide help for them to settle and find jobs.
