A significant number of displaced Ukrainians in Western Europe face the potential of homelessness as the conflict between Moscow and Kiev nears its third year, according to a report from the British daily The Guardian.
The article, published on Tuesday, highlights that many who escaped the violence and sought refuge in the West are at risk of living on the streets due to “dwindling” government support. This situation could lead to a substantial rise in Europe’s homeless population, as the United Nations estimates that approximately 6.1 million Ukrainian refugees reside in the UK and the EU.
In the UK, the Red Cross has indicated that over 9,000 refugee households are in danger of homelessness, citing "inadequate" support from local authorities. Additionally, the willingness of individuals to provide accommodation to Ukrainians has notably decreased.
Poland, which initially welcomed over a million refugees, has seen a shift in sentiment regarding their presence, driven by concerns about social benefits, the Guardian reported. The article notes that earlier this month, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski urged Western European countries to halt payments to Ukrainian males to motivate their return to fight against Russia.
Meanwhile, Hungarian authorities ceased housing assistance for thousands of refugees in August, asserting that some western regions of Ukraine are now “safe” for return. The Guardian also drew attention to challenges faced by those fleeing the conflict, mentioning that various bureaucratic obstacles often prevent them from securing the protections guaranteed to them under EU law.
