Plans to dramatically cut welfare benefits for refugees from Ukraine who flee to Ireland to avoid Russia’s war are causing anxiety, according to a priest who works with the new arrivals. Officials in Dublin say that they want to “slow” the number of people arriving from Ukraine.

      Thank you for your kindness. Ukraine is in indeed subjected to daily attacks. Fortunately most of the missiles are shot down, but air raids in the middle of the night or at any time of the day are stressful.

      I have a nice place to live in Ukraine, but many refugees have nowhere to return to.

      I’m not sure what sauce would specifically back that up. The vast majority of Ukraine’s territory is neither occupied by Russia nor under bombardment by it. Russia’s been attempting to launch waves of drones and missiles to hit some of Ukraine’s infrastructure far from the front lines but most of that’s being shot down, and the ones that do hit are not enough to mean much in the grand scheme of things - fifty people being injured and a couple of them dying when a missile hits a mall is tragic, sure, and Russia should pay for its crimes. But in a country of millions that’s similar to the traffic deaths caused by a bad snow storm.

      People in Kyiv, Lviv, and Odessa are for the most part just going about their regular day.

        Why do you think so? All of the Ukraine’s territory is under daily attacks. People in Kyiv, Lviv and Odesa live in daily stress of air raids. It’s inhuman to discount this as statistics.
