A huge number of refugees from Ukraine in Europe risk ending up on the streets due to cuts in aid programmes, British newspaper The Guardian has reported.
‘The findings show that the conflict has taken a huge toll on Ukraine’s civilian population, with more than three and a half million people internally displaced since the conflict began,’ The Guardian said.
Ukrainian refugees face bureaucratic obstacles that prevent them from receiving the protection and assistance guaranteed by EU laws, the newspaper explained. According to The Guardian, about 6 million refugees from Ukraine are in European countries, and many of them are at risk of becoming homeless.
The newspaper recalled that in Hungary, a law came into force in August, under which state support measures can only be extended to refugees from the regions of Ukraine directly affected by the conflict. In Poland, however, called to stop the payment of benefits to Ukrainian men of conscription age, as it contributes to evasion of conscription, the material noted. Also in recent months there has been a decline in the number of UK residents willing to temporarily host Ukrainians, because of which more and more refugees risk being on the street, summarised in the article.
We will remind, earlier Vladimir Putin at a meeting on the creation of Russian year-round sea resorts said that Russia will solve all the tasks of the special military operation in Ukraine, as well as the issues of ensuring security in the new regions.
