<\/div>[vc_column_text]The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) praised European countries’ efforts to protect Ukrainians but called for equal protection for all asylum seekers. The article<\/a> by Sestry explores whether the EU is more willing to accept Ukrainian immigrants than those from other regions and if attitudes towards Ukrainians are changing.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Ba\u015fak Yavcan<\/a>, MPG\u2019s head of research, noted that the influx of Ukrainian refugees has not been termed a crisis by the EU due to political involvement, perceived cultural similarity, and effective organisational responses. She highlighted that effective integration policies foster positive attitudes towards refugees, and Ukrainians have generally been well-received, partly because of these policies.<\/p>\n

Ba\u015fak stated, “The discourse of crisis arises when there is actually a management crisis.” Her research indicates that Ukrainians are perceived as more integrated and supportive of integration policies compared to refugees from other countries. The EU’s immediate capacity building and solidarity networks have facilitated this positive reception. However, Ba\u015fak acknowledges a double standard, emphasising that such favourable treatment should be extended to all asylum seekers.<\/p>\n

Sestry<\/a>, a support network for Ukrainian women displaced by the war, aims to provide reliable information, foster connections, and highlight solidarity efforts from around the world. The organisation helps Ukrainian women maintain ties with their homeland while navigating life in their countries of temporary residence.<\/p>\n
