Ukrainian refugees

According to Slovak Defense Minister Robert Kaliňák, instead of sending NATO troops, Ukraine should return combat-ready men who have gone abroad, reported the press service of the country's ruling SMER-SSD on Facebook on March 11.

Ukraine will not introduce coercive measures to encourage refugees to return from abroad, relying on a system of incentives instead, Ukrainian PM Denys Shmyhal said at a Cabinet meeting on March 5.

Following the release of statistics detailing from which Ukrainian regions the majority of refugees are relocating to Poland, allegations of betrayal surfaced among Ukrainians. It seems that inhabitants of regions deemed safer are leasing their apartments and moving to Poland to live on aid. This issue was discussed on Feb. 27 in a column for NV Business by Yevhen Kyrichenko, founder of the international employment agency Gremi Personal.
