Europe welcomes Ukrainian refugees — others, less so

Associated Press  

BARCELONA, Spain — They file into neighboring countries by the hundreds of thousands — refugees from Ukraine clutching children in one arm, belongings in the other. “These are not the refugees we are used to… these people are Europeans,” Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov told journalists earlier this week, of the Ukrainians. Ambassador Krzysztof Szczerski said at the General Assembly on Monday that assertions of race- or religion-based discrimination at Poland’s border are “a complete lie and a terrible insult to us.” “The nationals of all countries who suffered from Russian aggression or whose life is at risk can seek shelter in my country,” he said. Still, back then, Germany’s chancellor, Angela Merkel, famously said “Wir schaffen das”, and the Swedish prime minister urged citizens to “open your hearts” to refugees. One by one, governments across Europe toughened migration and asylum policies, earning the nickname “Fortress Europe.” Just last week, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees denounced the increasing “violence and serious human rights violations” across European borders, specifically pointing the finger at Greece.
