Europe's war under the conflict between Russia and Ukraine: Poland's difficult response to the resettlement of Ukrainians
2022-05-24
After Russia launched a special military operation in February this year, the 8-storey office building located at No. 7, fuvaska street, Warsaw, the capital of Poland, became a temporary resettlement building, and the crowded resettlement site accommodated about 400 Ukrainians. The office is transformed into a bedroom, the cloakroom into a children's paradise, the mother and baby room is set on the top floor, and the whole third floor is used as a temporary consulting room for door-to-door doctors. There are more than 30 such temporary reconstruction resettlement sites in Warsaw alone. According to statistics, at least 5.5 million Ukrainians have poured into neighbouring countries, of which Poland has received more than 3 million. Warsaw, with a population of less than 2 million, has accepted more than 300000 Ukrainians. Poland is facing an increasingly serious Resettlement Problem for Ukrainians. There is a shortage of personnel engaged in resettlement work, and there are only two full-time employees in resettlement site 7 on fuvaska street. Vichorek is one of them. She told reporters that the resettlement sites have a heavy workload. The prevention and control of COVID-19 alone is a big challenge. People are constantly infected with the virus. "We will transfer the infected people out, give others (nucleic acid) testing, and then take them back to the resettlement sites after the infected people recover.". At present, the resettlement work in Poland is mostly undertaken by non-governmental organizations and volunteers. Many people ask their employers for leave to do volunteer service, which is difficult to sustain. Pasternak, head of the outreach Department of Warsaw International Convention and Exhibition Center, Poland's largest reception center, told reporters that the participation of locals in voluntary work is much lower now than two months ago. "People are a little tired and their resources are almost exhausted". Lack of funds is another big problem. "If the EU does not give us assistance, it will be very difficult for us," vichorek said Her colleague Domanski added that Poland now has serious inflation and high prices. It is understood that the Polish government has urgently allocated some aid funds for the resettlement of Ukrainians, but these funds are tantamount to a drop in the bucket. Poland's deputy foreign minister Jablonski once said that the burden of helping those fleeing the war should not be borne by Ukraine's neighbors alone. In addition, Poland's medical and educational systems are also under great pressure in the face of a steady stream of Ukrainians. In an interview with reporters, puszolkovska, a researcher at the immigration research center of Warsaw University, said that before the escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Poland had faced the problems of shortage of teachers and tight housing supply. Now, there is a larger shortage of teachers and a tighter rental market. Pszorkovska said that after Ukrainians enter Poland, it is not difficult to find temporary accommodation, and it is difficult to find a long-term place to live. "It doesn't matter that ordinary poles receive Ukrainians for a week or two, but if it takes a few months... In the long run, they can't continue to squeeze into the same room with 50 roommates, whether at work or school." (Xinhua News Agency)
