Ukrainian refugee crisis: men stay behind the border!
Ukrainian refugee crisis: men stay behind the border!
Since the Russian attack on Ukraine more than three years ago, there are no serious prospects for peace. This persistent crisis is forcing hundreds of thousands of people to flee, with men in particular facing major challenges at the border. The Ukrainian border protection has prevented the departure of around 49,000 conscripts since the war started, of whom more than 45,000 were arrested on the green border or for preliminary checks. The mobilization has been in effect since February 2022 and ensures a strict ban on departure for men between the ages of 18 and 60, who can only leave the country with the approval of the district military replacement office. This affects a large part of the civilian population, which is in an increasingly dangerous situation.
according to Krone more than 4.3 million people found refuge in EU countries, with the majority-44.7%-adult women and 31.8% children. With 1.17 million, Germany has taken up most refugees from Ukraine, followed by Poland and the Czech Republic. Almost 85,000 refugees from Ukraine currently live in Austria. The press office of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees reports that the number of refugees in Germany rose by 0.6% in February while taking out in Austria and France.
The challenges for women and children
Women and children who often flee alone and suffer from emotional stress and uncertainty are particularly affected. The aid organization Aktion Germany helps that many refugees like Nataliia and their daughter could hardly find a safe place. After almost two months of stay in a subway station in Charkiw, one of the most affected regions, they finally fled and found refuge in a mother-child facility.The conditions in the subway stations are often catastrophic. Missing accommodations and pathogens make survival a challenge. Dasha, who suffers from fear and panic, received therapeutic support in the mother-child facility that helped her deal with her fears and to sleep better. Such institutions offer vital help for women and children who flee violence and loss.
escape movements and legal challenges
The escape movements from Ukraine vary greatly depending on the intensity of the fighting. People are looking for security in less contested regions. According to reports, around 3.2 million people fled the Polish border by the beginning of May 2022, while around 860,000 over Romania and another 550,000 left the country over Hungary. These massive escape movements were supported by the EU as a response to the crisis by activating the mass-stream guideline, which granted temporary protection.
similarly critical reports come from the Federal Center that indicates the difficult location of third-country nationals the Ukraine lived. These often have difficulty receiving legal protection and reports of discrimination. While the situation of the refugees Ukrainians is more advantageous compared to other refugee groups in the EU, uncertainty about the future remains a major challenge.
Overall, it can be seen that escape from Ukraine not only affects the fate of millions of people, but also has far -reaching social and economic effects on the rating countries. Many refugees Ukrainians consider a return to home as possible after the end of the war, with over 1.4 million returnees have already been registered. Nevertheless, the psychological and physical burden on the refugees remains a central topic that cannot be ignored.
