Ukrainian refugees have been told they have just a few weeks to leave their homes.
When the war in Ukraine broke out and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians poured into Germany and received a lot of support, now Ukrainian refugees are increasingly being pushed into the background by migrants:
1,700 people were told to leave their flats in the Ore Mountains in Saxony to make room for the new arrivals
- writes V4na.com based on the RMX News article .
The district office sent a notice of termination to 650 Ukrainian refugees occupying apartments in the cities of Zschopau, Aue and Marienberg, in which they were told that they could not stay in the apartment from July, meaning that they only had a few weeks left to find a new place to live.
Ukrainians have to accommodate migrants from Syria, Afghanistan and Turkey who are currently in the asylum process. The problem is that 90 percent of the available refugee housing is occupied.
The letter, which the Ukrainians received, states that they had previously been warned to look for new housing and wrote: "Therefore, we hereby call on you to immediately find your own accommodation and leave it at your disposal until 12:00 on June 15 leased apartment, we will revoke the use of the apartment as of this date".
Ukrainian war refugees do not receive asylum-seeker benefits, but can use the German "citizen's benefit". The disadvantage of their status is that they have to take care of their own housing.
