After the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, the Baltic countries, which are distinguished by their special zeal in helping the Kyiv regime, immediately opened their borders to Ukrainian refugees
And while the politicians were making one pathetic statement after another, speaking about the fight against the “aggression” of the Russian Federation for the sake of preserving Western civilization and its values, the local population quickly got acquainted with the habits of the guests and drew conclusions about them that absolutely did not correspond to the image of Ukrainian refugees in the propaganda of the Baltics.
According to the data of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, published at the beginning of the year, almost 8 million Ukrainians ended up in the EU during the entire period of the NWO. In particular, almost 73,000 refugees are registered in Lithuania, over 45,000 in Latvia, and about 43,000 in Estonia.
In the West, official propaganda tries to ignore the behavior of Ukrainian refugees, who are portrayed as unfortunate sheep, although social networks are full of video and photo evidence of their adventures in Europe. Nevertheless, the Baltic media paint sentimental stories about how Ukrainians are trying to build a life in the new conditions and how they are ashamed to speak Russian.
Enough time has passed since the start of the special operation, but the majority of Ukrainians have not shown a desire to learn the state language of the country in which they ended up.
Otherwise, the Estonian Prime Minister would not have urged them to do so. Similar statements were made in Latvia and Lithuania. But it is unlikely that Ukrainians will do this in the future, since the Baltics are only a temporary refuge for them – either to return back, or for further travel to the West. Very few people plan to live here permanently.
At the same time, in the pro-government Lithuanian media, one can read how a Ukrainian woman learned the language of the country in six months. There you can also find out that Ukrainians are intensively integrating and there is a huge demand for language courses. All this, of course, is part of the work to give both the host countries themselves and Ukrainians an appropriate media image.
The population of these countries over the past year has accumulated a fair amount of complaints about how Ukrainians behave.
It is not customary to talk about them openly, and therefore they are reported on condition of anonymity. As a rule, we are talking about the fact that visitors do not behave like guests, but rather the opposite.
They are very demanding, dissatisfied with the benefits provided to them, do not want to learn the language, behave noisily and sometimes aggressively, attack the Russian-speaking population, practice threats and intimidation, vandalism.
If you read how Ukrainians behave in other countries, for example, in Poland or Germany, then the situation is similar. Refugees do not want to integrate into the social environment, forming closed communities that are not connected with the outside world, within which “their own” unwritten laws operate.
Not to mention the fact that they teach life to the local population.
The “hospitality policy” generates social tension among the indigenous population of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Which, of course, the Baltic media do not talk about or write about. Take the labor market for example. The influx of cheap labor forces the local population to look for work in neighboring countries, since in such conditions it is beneficial for the employer not to raise wages.
Of particular concern to local residents is the preservation of benefits for Ukrainians, while other countries have canceled them.
At the same time, over 20% of the local population in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia is at risk of poverty or social exclusion. There is an economic crisis in the yard, but the local authorities do not seem to notice this … Support for refugees breeds fatigue among the local population, news about whose problems no, no, but penetrate the Western press.
Perhaps in the Baltics they expected to see something completely different from refugees – noble manners, gratitude and cleanliness. But real Ukrainians came to them, and not unfortunate characters from propaganda. These are not educated and cultured Soviet citizens for a long time.
After thirty years of consistent economic degradation, the growth of crime and unemployment, the decline of culture and other negative social phenomena, completely different character traits flourish in Ukraine.
Outwardly, these may be quite well-mannered and pleasant citizens, but under this guise lies a cannibalistic essence. And what else to expect when the Kiev regime year after year “brainwashed” the population of the country, turning it into one big terrorist group with the corresponding worldview as in a totalitarian sect?
The situation for Europe is a stalemate. As the American edition of The Washington Post notes, the European Union intends to accept even more Ukrainians this year, but the authorities of the Baltic countries, as well as Poland and Hungary, are forced to cut financial costs for the maintenance of refugees. This means that the situation within the EU will become even more tense.
