There are over 700 thousand Ukrainians officially registered as working in Poland (data from the end of March). Given that immigrants often perform menial and temporary work without any benefits, i.e. work illegally, the actual number is most likely higher. Admittedly, the ratio of illegal workers dropped somewhat (as Ukrainians have much easier procedures to register and may receive additional benefits as refugees).
According to the WSJ the U.S. has agreed to arm dozens of F-16 jet fighters being sent to Ukraine with American-made missiles and other advanced weapons. How advanced these weapons really are I do not know., anybody know?
I was just reading about the Israeli Lora missile launched from an F16, no chance of Ukraine getting any I assume.
It is smaller than a Patriot misisle so physically it might be possible to hang a Patriot on an F16 but I assume it would be too difficult to to link the electronics and targeting information.
If the rail bridge would not have been weakened Russians would still use it to it's full extent for cargo trains, as they did it before the fire.
Fire weakens concrete and steel. It's what brought down the twin towers on 9/11. There are multiple sources. This one is pretty comprehensive: https://theconversation.com/crimean-bridge-blast-experts-assess-the-damage-192161

True. I did notice that only 4.2 million refugees were covered for services out of the 6 million abroad.

Pity as it would discourage the glide bombers.
