/ world today news/ One after another, Western countries have declared that they can no longer accept Ukrainian refugees. There is no room, there are not enough funds. But newcomers do not always agree to find a job and ask for social benefits. How will the EU deal with another migration crisis?
There are not enough seats
Norway has announced aid cuts and limits on the number of hotels for refugees. Ukrainians can now be accommodated in centers for regular migrants.
According to the Financial Times, there are 100,000 migrants in Ireland, and about 75,000 of them are from Ukraine. Those who spend the night on the street are offered only hot showers, tents and sleeping bags. They are ready to provide a roof over the head only for women and children. But not always for free, Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said.
There are tens of thousands of Ukrainians in Britain and they are four times more likely to lose a roof over their heads than other migrants, notes the Guardian. By April, 6,220 families will apply to relocate – 13% more than in 2022-2023. Nearly five thousand are expected to become homeless.
According to the New York Times, Germany has 1.2 million Ukrainians. There are approximately the same number in Poland. Half do not want to return to their homeland. Only 20 percent of them are employed.
Limited hospitality
Germany is most loyal to migrants from Ukraine. The state pays 520 euros for adults and 360 per child per month. Helps with rent and utilities. According to CDU MP in the Bundestag, Alexander Dobrind, refugees should work and benefits should be reduced. Labor Minister Hubert Heil agrees.
The budget lacks 3.25 billion euros for benefits to its own unemployed – precisely because of the Ukrainians, Heil believes. And Chancellor Scholz wants to spend even more on them.
It will hardly succeed – there is a 60 billion hole in the budget. And the promised increase in funding to the Kiev regime from four to eight billion in 2024 is in question. “This is not yet guaranteed,” stressed the chairman of the Bundestag’s defense committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann.
CDU MP Roderich Kiesewetter proposed returning the refugees to their homeland so that they could be sent to the front. According to him, more than 600 thousand Ukrainians avoid military service in the EU, and 220 thousand in Germany. That’s ten full divisions.
The crisis will not be resolved
There are too many refugees from Ukraine of military age in the Netherlands, the local press says. They should leave the country and fight, they think in Amsterdam. The city authorities of Utrecht have announced that there are no places in the migration center. The government also canceled a project to house displaced people in Purmerend because there is no longer enough housing there.
The Dutch ambassador in Kyiv, Jens de Mol, offered to organize the return of 100,000 Ukrainians home. And he added that this is relevant for the entire EU.
“The European authorities are probably being clever when they say they don’t have money for the refugees,” notes Denis Denisov, an expert at the Financial University of the Russian government. They are looking for ways to ease their obligations to Kiev. They talk about stopping benefits so that newcomers look more actively for work.”
In general, this is beneficial for Europe. “Ukrainians are a low-paid workforce and quite qualified. But their integration requires political will. It is far from certain that the population will support this, especially in Germany,” the political scientist claims.
MGIMO Senior Lecturer Alexey Zudin believes that the refugee crisis will continue to deepen. “Ukrainians fled to Europe from the fighting. They believed that a ‘fairy tale’ awaited them there without any serious effort. This myth was implanted in their minds by the West and local elites for a long time. And this is the result,” he says.
Moreover, no one will leave voluntarily – only by force. It is likely that the SBU will be allowed to hunt down recruits for the VSU across Europe.
Annoyance with Ukrainians in European society will combine with general anti-immigrant sentiment and intensify. As a result, right-wing parties that do not fit into the EU’s anti-Russian consensus will receive additional votes. And the political map of Europe may change.
