Since 2011, more than 6.5 million people have sought asylum in Europe. Nationalists have made antipathy toward such migrants a centerpiece of their policy agendas. Will the war in Ukraine change anything?
began to appear: a mood of terror and pain as rockets and bombs fell from the sky; shortages of food and fuel across the country; hundreds of thousands of people turned, overnight, into refugees. Those refugees made their way to the borders of Poland, Slovakia, Romania, and Hungary. But unlike many others who, over the past decade, have sought to escape conflict and oppression by fleeing to European countries, they were welcomed inside.
More than six hundred thousand people have already left Ukraine, half of them going to Poland. According to the United Nations, that number could increase to four million in the coming weeks. Germany and Austria are offering free train rides to those who want to enter. And, for the first time, the E.U. plans to enact a “temporary protection directive” to extend residency permits to Ukrainian refugees for at least a year, giving them more time to go through the asylum process.
