The municipality of Limanowa is trying to relocate Roma families away from their current residence near the centre to a new apartment block that is planned to be built. Roma oppose the move and accuse the mayor of trying to create a Roma ghetto.

Ukrainian Appeal
Volodymyr Yakovenko, director of the Ukrainian Youth Agency for the Promotion of Roma Culture (ARCA), asked the social network for help for the Ukrainian people, who are currently facing a humanitarian catastrophe as a result of the Russian military invasion. “I call on the entire world community to appeal to its leaders to call on Russia and Belarus to withdraw their troops from Ukraine. Stop this war! We do not want this war, we want to stay alive!”

Ukraine War and Roma
We have had the first reports of Roma fleeing the war in the Ukraine and arriving in Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia. At this stage it is impossible to say how many, but we are gathering more information.

Ukraine, Roma, and Education
About 30 Roma women and girls from Odesa Oblast completed financial and information literacy training, which consisted of three trainings and homework assignments. The participants of the trainings, in particular, learned to plan and manage an individual / family budget, safely work with various information and detect fakes, use government online services for employment and social assistance. According to the organisers, this will help Roma women and girls to become more financially independent and strengthen their socio-economic capacity in the difficult context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ukraine and Roma
A really nasty poster was posted on the bus station in Lutsk, Ukraine. The poster urges people not to speak nor help Roma there.
The Roma were forcefully removed from the station a few days ago but seem to have come back.

Ukraine and Roma
Another one of those articles on Roma in the Ukraine: This time, in Lutz, the police chased Roma away from a bus station where they were begging, stealing, and fighting.
Not good for anyone.

Ukraine – REALLY???
In 2016, a Pogrom against Roma took place in Loshchinovka, near Odessa. No Roma were hurt as they had fled prior to the start of the pogrom. The origins of the pogrom was the brutal murder of an 8 year old girl and the fact that a Rom was initially accused of it. This accusation was dropped later.
Roma went to court to protest against the eviction and against the actions of several village officials., including the police which did not do anything to protect the Roma.
They lost – the eviction is apparently “self-government” of the village.
BAD.

In a social network, a resident of Zaporozhye Artem Gromov posted a photo of people who, according to him, rob people of Zaporozhye using hypnosis and curses. According to some users of the social network, the Roma are involved in thefts, fraud and robberies near Zaporizhzhya hospitals, markets and other places where people gather. Some Cossacks are convinced that the police are covering the swindlers, since otherwise they would have been in prison long ago.

Odessa Riots
Some controversy around the alleged perpetrator of the murder of a 8 years old girl that prompted the riots near Odessa in 2016. The suspect has an alibi for the time of the murder and it seems that the prosecution neglected to follow up on other traces / suspects.

Ukraine and Liberties
A new survey in the Ukraine is chilling. According to the survey, 27% of respondents are convinced that the rights of drug addicts must certainly be restricted, and 38% believe their rights should be limited in certain circumstances.
About Roma, 12% of respondents are convinced that the rights of the Roma must definitely be limited, 35% believe that their rights may be limited in certain circumstances.
