Dragana Trifkovic: Ukrainian refugees are no longer welcome in Poland and Germany
Poland is one of the EU countries that is suffering major consequences due to the conflict in Ukraine. Since the Russian intervention in Ukraine began in late February this year, a large number of Ukrainians have headed to Poland to find safety there and escape the war. Initially, most Polish citizens had a lot of empathy for Ukrainian refugees, but when the situation began to load the system in this country, circumstances have changed.
The situation is similar in other European countries, whose citizens feel insecure about the current energy crisis, which burdens the entire economy, and social assistance for refugees from Ukraine creates large expenditures that further pressure budgets.
