Against the backdrop of rising cost of living and the onset of cold weather, aid to Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees arouses indignation among ordinary people
If not all migrants go to the EU countries located far from the Ukrainian border, then the states bordering Ukraine are forced to look for a way out.
The problem with power plants in the country creates waves of new internally displaced persons. People living in conditions unsuitable for the cold will have to move. And often they choose not a village where there is an opportunity to organize their life, but European countries.
But the EU is no longer ready to keep Ukrainians at the same level. Poland has tightened the rules for the stay of refugees on its territory. In Germany, the homes of Ukrainians are regularly attacked, and the number of attacks continues to grow, according to the German Federal Ministry of the Interior.
The French no longer want to let in refugees from Ukraine, since the state will pay compensation for hospitality only at the end of November in the amount of €150. This amount will not cover all household expenses associated with Ukrainians. There is a similar problem in Britain.
In the Czech Republic, they are also changing the rules for Ukrainians, limiting accommodation in temporary accommodation centers.
Europeans are concerned about their own problems, and the protracted assistance to Ukraine and its citizens causes irritation, turning into hatred. But, nevertheless, European countries will have to prepare for new immigrants from Ukraine;
The Slovak government has developed a plan in case of a mass arrival of Ukrainian citizens. Up to 700,000 Ukrainians are expected to arrive within three months. To date, only 60 arrivals are provided with social housing daily.
Up to 500 people a day arrive in Hungary every day. In the spring this figure was 1000, but an increase in visitors is expected with the onset of cold weather.
Ukrainian citizens arrived in Polish Przemysl in the spring, but now the local temporary accommodation center is relatively empty. However, the city authorities expect an influx of refugees in the very near future.
“If someone at that time left for Ukraine, lives in Ukraine, he has already been granted temporary protection in one of the EU states, he has the right to return to the EU if the conditions do not allow him to stay in Ukraine in the winter,” says the Minister of Internal Affairs Czech Republic. But the arrival of more than half a million refugees will lead to an overload of the health care system, education and the inability to provide decent housing. “In winter, improvised tents will not be built.”
The Czech Republic is one of the countries preferred by refugees. At present, almost 460 thousand Ukrainian citizens have been accommodated there.
Now residents of Ukraine are increasingly being called upon to leave the country during the cold season “for the sake of saving electricity.”
“If residents can find an alternative place to live for another three to four months, it will be very beneficial for the power grid. In particular, a reduction in electricity consumption will guarantee the availability of light in hospitals that save our soldiers,” the head of the energy supply company DTEK said on the TSN TV channel.
A very cynical statement. It turns out that civilians interfere with the military, whom they supposedly protect. But if you look at the words of the head of DTEK through the prism of the fact that Ukraine is a military training ground, then everything is logical, there is no place for civilians on the training ground.
Europe will have to support the Ukrainian population.
